The Handheld Foxhunter: A Tape Measure Antenna for Radio Direction Finding

摘要

Last November, I participated in my first Sierra Amateur Radio Club (SARC) T-Hunt in Ridgecrest, California. I used a hand-held tape measure Yagi antenna which was lent to me by my former instructor, Mike Herr, WA6ARA. I really enjoyed the experience and to build my own tape-measure antenna for the next SARC T-Hunt event. Thus, WA6ARA e-mailed me an article by Joe Leggio, WB2HOL, entitled "Tape Measure Beam Optimized for Radio Direction Finding."
