Vertical extended double zepp antenna for 2 meters

Image
  If you want to extend the range of your 2 meter antenna, try this simple vertical extended double zepp antenna from Peter Parker (VK3YE). If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-t8NBL67fc This is post 2543 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. At 2 meter frequencies, a vertical extended  double zepp antenna is a realizable project using locally  available materials. Peter shows us how the antenna is made and explains what results we can achieve.  As a bonus, the antenna also works on the 6 meter Amateur Radio Band. Here are some of his comments: A very simple but very good omnidirectional vertical antenna for VHF FM simplex and repeaters. But that's not all. What is it? It's a extended double zepp antenna for 2m. And it does 6m as well. Watch to find out how easy one is to build. ----- Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM).
