Antenna Build Day with LRL
You are invited to our first Antenna Workshop! We'll learn about radio antennas by building some, including 40m wire dipole antennas for the QRP radios many of us made last year, as well as simple dipole antennas for HTs.
No particular experience required. We'll use inexpensive components, and assemble them with tools from our awesome hosts, the Oakland sudoroom. You may get to do some basic soldering, clipping of wire, sawing of metal tubing, and gluing of plastic. Cost info TBA but it will be affordable; no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Finally, we’ll use antenna analyzers to measure how effective our new antennas are. So bring whatever radio you have, any external antennas you got, and a desire to learn more about the most important part of the radio after the radio!
