HOME BREW BEAM

[Stellasstillarat]

I've s friend who's concidering building a small 11 meter beam.
Is it possible to build one from a proven plan without the use of an analyzer?
If so can someone throw a few suggestions my way.
It will be his first antenna build so simplicity and low cost is basically what he's looking for.

A 2 element quad or 3 element Yagi are super easy and work very well. Take a look at Ham Universe, I think they have a bunch of the plans there.

Doesn't get any better than this... even gives you a parts list.

A moxon is a dead simple and effective 2 element project, excellent for a first time build.

does your friend want a vertical or horizontal polarized beam?

That's a fact, Jack! Thanks for bringing that one up.
