do I have my antenna fundamentals right?
"Nelson Blaha" wrote in message ps.com... Having gotten some help around here on how to power my 2m mobile indoors cheaply, I need to figure out a way to get an antenna. There are probably a million holes in this plan, please point them all out to me! I intend to get a piece of square sheet metal (ground plane?) about half a meter each way, and build a bracket to hold it outside my window horizontally. In the center of the sheet metal I'll install an NMO mount for my mobile antenna. I'm actually planning to ground the sheet metal using the electrical ground in the wall socket (surely something's wrong with THAT!) I look forward to better alternatives! Way more metal than you need. I still have a cofee can lid with 4 1/4 lambda raials soldered to it that I once used on a balcony. If you dnt already have an antenna get one of those 1/2 lambda antennas that dont require a groundplane. |
