Presents the detailed construction of the _FLA25HV_ antenna, a specialized array optimized for Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communications on the 2-meter band. This resource provides schematics and practical insights into building a high-gain antenna system capable of reflecting signals off the lunar surface, a challenging but rewarding aspect of amateur radio. It covers the mechanical and electrical considerations essential for achieving the precise pointing and signal strength required for successful moonbounce contacts, often yielding **20 dB** or more gain. Amateur radio operators pursuing EME operations require robust antenna systems and precise tracking capabilities. The FLA25HV design addresses these needs by focusing on element spacing, impedance matching, and structural integrity to withstand environmental factors while maintaining critical alignment for lunar reflections. Such systems are crucial for making contacts over distances exceeding **768,000 km**. This personal page serves as a practical guide for hams interested in constructing their own EME arrays, offering a glimpse into the technical dedication involved in pushing the boundaries of VHF/UHF propagation.

This calculator computes the matched line loss for a transmission line using a model calibrated from data for the transmission line types built in to the calculator. It also gives an estimate of the mismatched loss if the mismatch is specified.

Demonstrates the construction of two distinct wideband RF preamplifiers, detailing their component requirements and performance characteristics. The first design leverages monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) such as the MAR-6, MAR-8, or PGA103, offering a broad frequency response from DC to 2 GHz with a gain of 22.5 dB at 100 MHz and a noise figure typically below 3 dB. This MMIC-based amplifier incorporates protection against power supply transients and features a 50 Ohm input/output impedance, operating from an 8-20 volt supply with low current drain. The second preamplifier design utilizes a BSX-20 transistor, providing amplification across the 14 MHz to 550 MHz range. This simpler, more economical build achieves an average gain of 12 dB at 145 MHz and a noise figure of approximately 1.1 dB. It operates from a 7-15 volt battery supply with a current draw of 6 mA. Both projects emphasize critical construction techniques, such as maintaining short RF connections, ensuring 50 Ohm impedance paths, and mounting the circuit within a shielded enclosure to optimize performance and minimize noise. The resource also discusses phantom power options for antenna-mounted preamplifiers and precautions for use with transceivers, including output protection diodes and static bleeders.
