ANTENNA NIGHT PLAYLIST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL01YuCls6edYQkHejzJNAxZqX9eRBeG8B I have been wanting a versatile antenna that I can take with me on my SOTA expeditions that has better performance than a rubber duck, but that I can use with my BTECH UV-5X3 tri-band HT on all three bands - 144MHz, 220MHz, and 440MHz. I didn't want three separate antennas and this fits that requirement. In this video I walk through the process of building a tri-band ground plan antenna. From build to tuning to a couple of test QSOs, this video will help you build your own, start to finish. This versatile antenna design is not limited to just 2m, 1.25m and 23cm. You can modify the project to fit your circumstances.
