- Re-purposing / re-banding a cellular/PCS antenna into a dual band VHF UHF antenna. Items used are items from the "dollar box" at a hamfest tailgate and everyday hardware. Electronic surplus can be your friend !
Nicely done! There is great satisfaction to be had from recycling and repurposing.
It is very satisfying ! Thank you and thanks for watching !
pretty good stuff. Nice to see the testing equipment too. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and thanks for watching !
Could you please Repeat the the length of the stylus in meter please?
Could you better explain maybe in a message, the characteristics of this antenna? You explain the operation but I do not speak English and it is difficult to understand the various steps. Thank you very much.
those ABS rods are insulators right?
That is cool as hell!
VideosByDPF Thanks for watching !
I enjoyed our conversation.
Excellent channel, i watched alot of your videos...just Subbed and thumbs up....thanks..
Thank you for watching !
But with this dipole can I receive these frequencies? I don't have a receiver yet but it will be coming soon. For the time being thank you.
not sure I'd go to that effort for that but I can't knock a man for fiddling with stuff to turn it into something else. good work mate.
It's always fun to tinker for certain. Thanks for watching !
@@survivalcomms welcome mate. enjoyed it. nothing better than making it yourself, even if you could have bought it for half the price.
I like this, but as a tinkerer I would like to add my opinion as it were. Instead of adding the wire at the bad of the collector, why not install a bolt and drill it to accept the collector and then cross drill the collar and bolt to add a set screw? I mean it would be more work but it would probably be more sturdy. The other thought I had was if I were to do it your way with the wire, I would’ve used J-B Weld to fill in the void and lock it all into place. Again, not knocking what you are doing, rather I am sharing my ideas with you and the community.
Yes I could have used brass tubing as well and drilled / tapped for a 4/40 setscrew. I mentioned the set screw at the 4 minute mark. This was done as an experiment with what was on hand at the time. Thanks for watching !
Nice find .. not sure I could find such a jewel but does that rare earth magnet hold up to wind.. so many are old standard magnets not sure how the rare earths do, Thanks.
Thanks for watching ! It does hold up well at highway speeds.
The feed line is 10'
Lets hear how it brings in the broadcast ?
JJD1913 it works pretty good. It certainly isn't a Larsen or Motorola spectrum but for a cobbled together radiator it surprised me. Thanks for watching !
how well it holdup at 65mph kg6mn
It didn't fly off. It is a small magnet and was concerned about the same thing . Thanks for watching !
Interesting i/e vhf / uhf testing results
Thanks for watching !
Could I do this with a old cb antenna ?
Tristen Oj sure could if your resonator dimensions are right. Just make certain you eliminate the loading coil. Thanks for watching !
SurvivalComms not exactly sure what the loading cool would look like
SurvivalComms loading coil sorry
Tristen Oj cylinder at base or mid resonator
Saludos cordiales mucho agradeceré indicar la medidas del elemento en centímetros,un abrazo
50cm y recortar para resonanace. ¡Gracias por verlo!
