70cm Tape Measure Yagi plans?

[KK4HOO]

Does anyone have a link to or plans for a 70cm Tape Measure Yagi? I want to make a 70cm to match my 2m Tape Measure yagi so I can use my secondary HT to make it easier to work SO-50.


Since the 2m Yagi can receive SO-50 I know I could just make a second 2m version, but I figured I could use the 70cm version to work 440 on some SOTA work.


Thanks

On the ANTENNAS page at ...

... you will find W6NBC's article from the January, 2012 issue of QST magazine - that has the measurements for the 440 elements for you.

And Doug KD5PDN has written a great article on working the ISS with just an HT and tape measure beam! It’s in the Feb. 2012 issue of QST magazine - or you can go to the SAT SKEDS page of that same Web site for a copy.

I've had real good luck with this tape measure yagi... The parts weren't much, took minutes to make, and they were done (a friend of mine and I made two)..

Good luck, and have fun

I've actually found once I tuned mine up, it was pretty darn happy and content on 70cm too...
Even then, not too difficult to use the same plans and trim the elements down a bit...

Thanks for pointing that out though
