I picked up a Oct 1973 issue of 73 & noticed a interesting article on
a mast mounted rotatible very
hig gain 435mhz antenna, cheap and easy to built. Ive been trying to
build a high gain antenna to
recieve ATV in the 903-928 band & seems this maybe the one. The claims
for
this antenna seem streached abit, they claim 26dB gain from just wire
and a few resistors
and claim its 435mhz design can work up to 890mhz, theres even a quad
rhombic shown
also. Sounds to good to be true, so i wandering if anyone has had any
experience with
actually building & using one of these antennas. I would like to build
some kind of high gain recieve
only antenna to see if its possible to get a decent signal from some
of the ATV repeaters.
Seems here in western N.C. the ATV activity is located mostly in this
located band.
