How to Build a Dual-Band Antenna for 2M/70cm presentation PDF file
-
The Flower Pot Antenna project details a portable dual-band antenna primarily operating on 10 meters, with secondary resonance near the 30-meter band. Construction involves winding RG58 coaxial cable uniformly around a large plastic flower pot, approximately 70cm high with a 60cm top diameter. The design eliminates the need for radials, contributing to its compact and lightweight nature. Key construction steps include soldering the inner conductor to the shield at one end of the wound cable and connecting the wound cable's shield to the rig cable's inner conductor at the base. An LC network, comprising a variable capacitor (0-200pF) and an inductor (10 coils, 5cm diameter, 2mm wire), is inserted between the wound cable's inner conductor and the rig cable's shield. Tuning is performed with an antenna analyzer, adjusting cable length and the variable capacitor for optimal impedance on 10 meters. The antenna performs effectively when installed horizontally.

The resource presents a detailed schematic for constructing a dual-band vertical antenna, specifically designed for operation on the 2-meter and 70-centimeter amateur radio bands. It illustrates the physical layout, critical dimensions, and component placement necessary for successful replication. Key elements such as the radiating elements, phasing sections, and feed point are clearly depicted, providing a visual guide for radio amateurs undertaking a homebrew antenna project. The diagram specifies the lengths for the VHF and UHF sections, indicating how these elements are integrated to achieve dual-band functionality from a single coaxial feedline. It also implies the use of common materials readily available to most experimenters, focusing on simplicity and effectiveness in its design. The visual format of a GIF image ensures direct access to the construction details without requiring extensive textual interpretation. This schematic serves as a practical reference for hams interested in building a compact, efficient vertical antenna for local and regional FM communications, offering a proven design for immediate implementation.

This article describes the construction of a simple dual-band VHF/UHF end-fed vertical dipole antenna designed for local repeater access using an Icom IC-705 radio. Built from a single piece of RG58U coaxial cable, the antenna consists of a 460mm exposed inner conductor, 450mm of intact coax, and a 9-turn choke balun wound on a 27mm former. Mounted on a 10m Spiderpole, the antenna achieves excellent SWR readings (<1.2:1 on 2m, <1.5:1 on 70cm) and provides effective coverage of local repeaters with unexpected reach into distant locations.
