Simple wxsat antenna

[Analoguesat]

No fancy qfr or turnstile antenna here - a couple of bent antenna elements & a chocbloc connector plus the usual cables connectors etc! ANd getting usable results despite using linear polarisation instead of rhcp!

LNA for all: DIY 137 MHz WX SAT V-dipole antenna

2 metre was always an easy catch with a couple of coathangers.

Im tempted to have a go at this - the fancy QFR antenna was really beyond my construction abilities but even I cant bollix up two bent rods stuffed in a chocbloc connector

That is all most 'professional' antennas are

So far I've been able to pickup clear signals from 25mhz to about 900mhz. My dongle caps out at 1.7ghz and i think i saw a few signals from cellphones up there but nothing remarkable.
