PCB aerials

Afternoon All,

Has anybody in SOTA land tried etched PCB aerials for 70cm or 23cm? I am interested in having a go if anyone has any info or references they could point me towards please?

Thanks in advance.

I have a WA5VJB 23cms PCB Yagi. I bought it as I’m time poor rather than making one. Works like a dream.

Hi Tim

This are provided with SMA male connector. Work fine at 23cm with an Alinco
for SOTA, but they have no such a thing for 70cm (too big, probably)

Hi Both,
Sorry I am only just getting back to you, the other distraction in life is keeping me busy!

I have had a go at the first prototype of a 23cm design and hope to give it a try shortly.

More info to appear here as it happens :slight_smile:

Thanks again
