2m Skeleton Slot Yagi Stack Antenna Construction Project
Description
This resource details the construction of a 2-meter Skeleton Slot Yagi Stack antenna system, specifically designed for 145 MHz operation. The project outlines the methodology for feeding two stacked Yagi antennas using a skeleton slot radiator. Technical specifications include the design of the skeleton slot radiator, the loop tapered matching section for impedance matching, and the construction of individual elements. The document provides specific component dimensions such as the EH789 element holder, MB456 main mast bracket, and MM123 main boom spacing, utilizing 20x20 box aluminum bar. Element length (ER-ED4) and mounting procedures are described. The resource includes a downloadable PDF containing the full project details, enabling replication of the antenna design and assembly process. This project targets amateur radio operators interested in VHF antenna construction and optimization for the 2-meter band.
