During their August 2024 meeting, the Valley of the Moon Amateur Radio Club (W6AJF) held a 2M Yagi antenna build event. The club’s President, Ed (W1EJ), ensured all of the needed parts were provided. Several members brought soldering irons and other tools that were needed to complete the work.
In the end, everyone interested was able to bring home a 2M Yagi. Each antenna consists of PVC tubing and metal measuring tape elements. It’s based on the project published by WB2HOL. The collapsible design is perfect for a transmitter hunt!
Club members divided up into small groups to give each other a hand in constructing their antennas.
Dave (KD6FIL) and Carl (N6TTV) solder feedline to the antenna.
Don (KO6DXF), John (W8EWL) and Bill (KH6GJV) use a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to test out the characteristics of a finished antenna.
