Build your own antenna for the 23cm band ( 1250Mhz - 1280Mc ) using some aluminium and this simple design.

The DL6WU yagi antenna for 23cm band

An interesting presetnation full of usefull tricks to correctly design and build 23 cm Yagi using simple tools. The basic design of the antenna presented in this document is taken from the original DL6WU Yagi Design published in 1982

23cm 1296 MHz Field Day Yagi Construction, a 26 element conventional-style design. Article with several pictures and detailed homebrewing instructions

Antennas for the 1296 MHz based on the construction plans of some Yagis 35 elements by DL6WU, F9FT, DJ9YW. These antennas features a boom of about 3 m and gives a gain of about 17.8 dBd

1260 MHz yagi antenna for ATV with a total Bandwidth (3 dB) 1240-1280 MHz and 10 dBd gain

The W6PQL 23cm Beacon Project describes a **1296 MHz** beacon designed for microwave propagation studies and equipment testing, capable of 30 watts output. It utilizes a PIC 16F628A microcontroller to generate CW and FSK keying for a crystal oscillator, followed by a series of frequency doublers and triplers to reach the target frequency. The final power amplification stage employs a Mitsubishi M57762 module, providing a robust 10-watt RF output. The design emphasizes stability and reliability for continuous operation, with the microcontroller code, written in assembly, provided for customization of the beacon's callsign and message. Originally located in CM97am and aimed at 140 true, the beacon used four 4-foot Yagis stacked vertically for a total ERP of 3kW. The article includes schematics, parts lists, and construction notes to guide builders, along with antenna pattern measurements. Although the beacon itself is no longer in service as of August 2010, the detailed documentation remains a valuable reference for amateur radio operators interested in building similar **microwave** projects or understanding beacon operation.
