2m Projects - Omnidirectional Vertical

Click to enlarge"Bottle" Antenna for 145 MHz by RA1TW
Any amateur can do the antenna during one hour. To do the antenna takes a half of hour and to tune the antenna also takes a half of hour. So, do not waste time and go to make the Bottle Antenna!

Click to enlarge"MUrDuck" VHF "rubber duck" Portable Antenna by ON6MU
You can make your own 2-meter "rubber duckies" that will likely perform much better than many commercial units. I compared my design with two other "rubber duckies" of the TH215 and ICT7 which outperformed them both.

"Limpy Arnold" - A simple antenna for 2m or 6m by PC1D
Since 2000, members of our club experiment and work with the "Limpy Arnold" antenna. About this odd name-giving, PA7ZEE wrote in Electron of Nov 2003, in Sprat and in Cats Whisker of the South Dorset Radio Society.

Click to enlarge145 Mc 5/8-wave vertical antenna by ON6MU
At VHF, both the 1/4-wavelength monopole and the 5/8-wavelength monopole antennas are widely used. The VHF 5/8-wavelength (144 Mhz) vertical monopole has long held the reputation of providing about a 3-dB gain advantage over the 1/4-wavelength vertical monopole.

Click to enlarge146MHz 1/4λ ground plane tower mounted antenna by VK6YSF
Requiring a replacement antenna for my aging 2mtr band 5λ/8 wave ground plane that is primarily used for local FM simplex and repeater communication, I settled on the simpler 1λ/4 wave ground plane antenna designed for approximately 146.5MHz.

2m/70cm Gentleman's Walking Stick by W6NBC & W6ND
Walk about freely with this pedestrian-portable antenna. Use it for better coverage at a parade, a bike-a-thon or just on a stroll. Alternately, hang it in a tree or mount it permanently. Its utility will impress you. It is also an ideal low-cost ham radio club project.

Click to enlarge6dB Colinear VHF Antenna by SMØVPO
I had a problem with my packet radio station and decided that antenna gain was the solution. So now I have a 6dB gain VHF colinear.
http://sm0vpo.altervista.org/antennas/6dbvhf0.htm

Clic to enlarge7dB Colinear Antenna by SMØVPO
This project is about a cheap way of building a colinear antenna for VHF 145MHz, and having about 10dB more gain than that little 1/4-wave magmount I have not used for 6 years. The actual gain of this antenna is +7.5dBd. It consists of five half-wave dipoles, four of which are end-fed by means of a 1/4-wave stub to invert the phase.

Click to enlargeA 144MHz Pocket Antenna by F3WM
The hand held transceivers are very usefull for portable operation. They are all afflicted by a common shortcoming : their sausage type antenna is very inefficient. A simple dipole will make better.

A True Plumber's Delight for 2 Meters - An All Copper J-Pole by KD8JB
A number of years ago, I build a J-Pole antenna from some scrap aluminum tubing and a 5-foot stick of TV mast. The antenna tuned easily, and operated well for a few years until nature did it in.

Build a 2 meter 5/4 Wave Antenna by N1HFX
This month I decided to build a 2 meter 5/4 wave antenna. This antenna is unique in that it is enclosed entirely in 3/4" PVC which makes the design a little more complicated.

Cookie Can Portable Antennas by W6NBC
Every ham likely has made a 2 meter antenna from a discarded cookie can or a pizza pan. But how well do these perform? A close look at this familiar “make-shift” antenna may surprise you.

Klik voor vergrotingCopper Plumbing Pipe Dipole Antenna for 2 Meters de W4ZT
One of these dipoles works fine for a basic, slightly off center, omni-directional antenna. The angle of radiation is lower than that of a ground plane so it does tend to work better (by about 3db in the favored direction).

De J antenne door PE1KQP
De j antenne is een eenvoudige en makkelijk zelf te maken antenne die nog goed werkt ook.
De 2 meter antenne heeft bij mij al vanaf 1981 op de mast gestaan en heeft alle stormen die er sindsdien geweest zijn onbeschadigd overleefd.
http://pe1kqp.radiotreffen.nl/index.php?page=j-antenne

De LR antenne door PE1KQP
De LR antenne is in feite een dubbele J antenne die zowel horizontaal als verticaal gebruikt kan worden. Omdat deze antenne 2 halve golf stralers heeft is er een winst van 2,5 DB ten opzichte van de J antenne.

Efficient 2 meter Disguise Antenna by W6NBC
This horizontal “slot” antenna, cut into the reflector of a TV dish, is both the master of disguise and high in performance.

Homebrew Coaxial Dipole for VHF or UHF by W6NBC
Here’s a base station antenna you can easily build for 146, 220 or 440 MHz.
Performance is equal to a J-pole, but it’s smaller, less obtrusive and more weatherproof.

Click to enlargeJ-POLE FOR 145 MHZ by F3WM
If you need a simple, strong and efficient atenna for 145 mhz, you need a J-pole; I think it's the best antenna for newcomers because it has better performance than a GP and is easy to bulid; moreover it's electrically gronded.

Make Your Own "Rubber Duckies" by NØLRF
Not the bathtub kind . . . the kind you stick on an H-T. For a few dollars and a couple of hours of fun, you can roll your own 2-meter rubber duckies that will likely perform better than many commercial units.

The "VPO-le" Antenna by SMØVPO
To build the "VPO-le" (pun intended) antenna all you need is four small panel pins (nails) and a bit of wood. You should be able to build and test this antenna in less than 20 minutes. It has a gain of about +2dBd (+4.5dBi). It is best mounted on a broom handle, or similar.
