A friend of mine hooked me up with a couple beam antennas today, and parts for repair/building new ones. He's the guy with "the van", you know the type. One is a 5 element 2m yagi and the other is a 10 element 70cm yagi. The 2m was in a fight with a tree branch driving down the road (yup, "the van" guy) at some point and needs some work, but the 70cm looks ready to go. He put N-type connectors on them but I think I'll swap those out for SO-239s since that's what I use for everything.
The parts he gave me include a bunch of 6' brazing rods, isolators, keepers, etc. I'll need one rod to fix the broken yagi, but I gotta come up with some ideas for some of the others. I want something for 6m but they're not long enough for that. I probably should have counted them but I'd say there are maybe 6 or 8. Any ideas?
I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with these things. Moonbounce would be cool, but I don't think either is enough on its own. They both fit in my Lesbaru, to give you a feel for the length (heh). Maybe I can listen, though.
