Abstract:
In the March 2016 QST, John Portune W6NBC presented a 2-meter antenna disguised as a TV Satellite Dish. In this presentation, we explore the first known iteration of a dual-band satellite antenna design using two slots and a diplexer to let you work any repeaters using a single, HOA-friendly, antenna! Come see the design, construction, and field testing results!
