"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! http://www.antentop.org/003html/003_p40.htm |
"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. https://www.qsl.net/on6mu/schemas/on6mu_vhfrubberduck.htm |
"Slappe Arnold" - Een eenvoudige antenne voor 2m door PC1D Binnen de afdeling wordt sinds 2000 gewerkt en geëxperimenteerd met de "slappe Arnold" antenne. Uiteraard willen we het ontwerp niet voor onszelf houden maar wat meer bekendheid geven. http://www.pi4asv.nl/techniek/antennes/sl_arnold.html |
145 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. https://www.qsl.net/on6mu/schemas/on6muvhf58verticalantenna.htm |
146MHz 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. http://vk6ysf.com/146mhz_ground_plane_antenna.htm |
146MHz 5/8 ground plane tower mounted antenna by VK6YSF Requiring a new 2 metre band antenna for local FM simplex and repeater communication and after evaluated a couple of the main contenders for the project I settled on the 5λ/8 wave ground plane to be designed for approximately 146.5MHz. http://vk6ysf.com/5-8_Ground_Plane.htm |

6dB 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 |
7dB 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. http://sm0vpo.altervista.org/antennas/7db-colinear.htm |
A 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. http://www.qsl.net/f3wm/radio/pocket.html |
A DIY Ducky for 2m by G4ILO I recently decided to save wear and tear on the SMA socket of my TH-F7E dual-band hand-held transceiver by permanently installing an SMA to BNC adapter or "HT saver". http://www.g4ilo.com/diy-ducky.html |

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. http://w6nbc.com/articles/2013-QSTcookie.pdf |
Copper 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). http://www.w4zt.com/dipole/ |
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://pa0ebc.nl/pe1kqp/indexb261.html?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. http://pa0ebc.nl/pe1kqp/index185d.html?page=de-lr-antenne |

Emergency Antenna by ZS5MGD This antenna was built after a surprise greeting upon arriving on site to repair a low power radio telemetry system "Why have you come? I told them the antenna was stolen and have not had the time to replace it". http://www.marcspages.co.uk/tech/antemerg.htm |
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. http://w6nbc.com/articles/2009-07QSTcoaxialdipole.pdf |
J-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. http://www.qsl.net/iz7ath/web/02_brew/12_jpole/jp_eng.htm |
Make Your Own "Rubber Duckies" by NØLRF Not the bathtub kind . . . the kind you stick on an H-T.

NSH - Tilted V by VU3NSH I constructed this antenna by 3/8th thick aluminium tubes and I selected the element spacing angle of 90 degrees (It can be 120 degrees or 60 degrees, but the radiation pattern will change). http://www.hamradio.in/circuits/tilted_v.php |
OCF 2-Meter Sleeve Dipole Antenna by KV5R Lots of people are building this antenna! One fellow even improved upon it by making the elements out of aluminum - inside a 3/4" PVC pipe -- see QST August 06. http://kv5r.com/ham-radio/2-meter-sleeve-dipole/ |
Portable Rabbit-Ears Dipole Antenna by KV5R This handy and cheap portable dipole can be folded and backpacked, carried in use, and adjusted to a very wide range of frequencies. Note: This is a low power antenna, meant to be used close the body at 5 watts or less. http://kv5r.com/ham-radio/rabbit-ears-dipole/ |
Simple 2-Meter Dipole Antenna by KV5R
This antenna is similar in construction to the 2-meter OFC sleeve dipole I built over 8 years ago, but it is a simple center-fed dipole. I used 1″ thin-wall PVC pipe, aluminum tape, and RG-8X coax. http://kv5r.com/ham-radio/simple-2-meter-antenna/ |
Slim-Jim 2m VHF Band Antenna by 4S7NR Slim-Jim is easy to built, no radial 145Mhz antenna. It has almost equal gain of a 5/8 lambda and much higher gain than 1/4 lambda whip. http://www.qsl.net/qrp/ant/slimjim.htm |
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. http://sm0vpo.altervista.org/antennas/vpole0.htm |
The 2 Meter Coffee Can Antenna by KGØZZ The coffee can antenna is actually a sleeve dipole antenna made using a large coffee can, or other similar size tin can, in place of using radials like that of a ground plane antenna or the other half of a dipole element. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr7vSu1PBLw |
