A copper pipe Hentenna for 144 MHz. The Hentenna, a compact, high-gain loop antenna developed in Japan in the 1970s, offers approximately 5.1 dBd gain, comparable to a three-element Yagi. Adapted for 2 meters, it is crafted from copper pipe for simplicity, affordability, and broadband performance. Requiring no feed-point tuning, its construction involves soldering standard copper fittings. Installation demands non-conductive materials to minimize signal disruption. Versatile for vertical or horizontal polarization, it is ideal for FM, repeater, SSB, or CW applications. This design emphasizes practicality and performance for amateur radio enthusiasts -

Demonstrates the construction of a 144 MHz turnstile antenna, detailing its design for omnidirectional, horizontally polarized VHF operation. The resource outlines the physical dimensions and materials required, including specific lengths for the radiating elements and the use of _RG-58_ coaxial cable for phasing. It covers the assembly process, emphasizing the critical spacing and connection points to achieve the desired radiation pattern and impedance matching for the _2-meter band_. The article presents measured _SWR_ performance across the 144-146 MHz segment, showing a low SWR of 1.2:1 at 144.5 MHz, which is suitable for general VHF use. It compares the turnstile's performance to a 9-element Yagi, noting the turnstile's advantage in providing consistent signal strength from all directions without requiring a rotator. Practical application for local FM simplex and repeater operations is implied, offering a simple yet effective antenna solution for fixed or portable stations. -

This project introduces the Loggi, a hybrid antenna merging the wide frequency coverage of log-periodic dipole arrays (LPDA) with the high gain and front-to-back ratio (F/B) of Yagi antennas. Traditional LPDAs span broad frequencies with moderate gain and low VSWR, while Yagis provide high gain and F/B over narrow bands. By analyzing high-Tau LPDA designs, it was found they could nearly match the gain of VHF/UHF Yagis while maintaining excellent patterns, F/B, and front-to-rear ratios (F/R). Optimizing specific elements for target frequencies (e.g., 144.1 MHz) led to the Loggi, which uniquely features all driven elements without passive directors or reflectors. This design effectively functions as a narrowband optimized LPDA, with front elements acting like Yagi directors and rear elements like Yagi reflectors, thus enhancing gain and directional characteristics while retaining broad frequency versatility. -

The article describes a high-gain, compact beam antenna design for the 2-meter band (144-146 MHz). The NSH 4x4 Boomer is a 4-element antenna that is mounted on a 4-foot boom with an 8.2 dB gain, 1.2:1 SWR, and a front-to-back ratio of 18 db. It is designed for mobile operations and little area, making it perfect for field usage such as disaster management. The design employs regularly spaced parts with a straightforward gamma match for tuning, and the construction materials include a square boom and polished aluminum tubes. In local and portable tests, the antenna worked regularly, achieving contact distances of up to 15 kilometers. -

This paper by Leif Asbrink (SM 5 BSZ) presents a practical approach to designing very high gain Yagi antennas, focusing on the "brute force" optimization method. The method, described in a previous article, ensures convergence independent of initial guesses. The paper provides detailed tables of element lengths and positions for Yagi antennas optimized for 144.1 MHz with a 50-ohm feed point impedance, aiming for minimal losses and high accuracy in comparisons.
