Oh, I have come across something very interesting, I did not know of this method, I always stay curious for any info on Ham Antennas. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of info.

How well does satellite communication work in NYC? Have you tried operating from rooftops? We’re thinking of setting up a Tesla special event station in the city at one or more Tesla related sites on November 5th, but don’t know if it will work.

What are you using for a diplexer? Did you build it yourself? If you did, what is the schematic?

Thanks

Yeah, that’s the antenna, that’s the easy part. No where in there or in any other posts has she ever mentioned the diplexer though.

I’m not using a diplexer. My primary radio, a Yaesu FT-817nd, has two RF connectors, so I just hook directly to those. And for full duplex operation, I use a second radio. That being said, if you want a diplexer, WA5VJB’s document describes how to build a simple one.

That’s really cool that the 817′s have that. Does it matter which connection you use for what or are they interchangeable? Also I feel quite silly now, all this time I’ve been looking at the cheapyagi.pdf when I should’ve been looking at the cheap antennas-LEOs.pdf. He has a simple circuit there that’ll work fine.
