This simple 7 element Yagi is ideal for portable operation. The elements can be removed and replaced in a few minutes. The 2.42 Metre boom will fit inside my car. All of the elements are made from 6mm solid aluminum rod. The boom is made from 50x25mm (2x1 in) timber. The driven element is a half wavelength dipole. Unlike the more common type of folded dipole, this dipole is folded on one side but not on the other. For want of a better name, lets call it a 'half folded dipole'. The co-ax cable braid is connected to the centre of the dipole. The co-ax centre conductor is connected to the folded dipole section (see diagram above).
Build Accurate LC Meter and start making your own coils and inductors. This LC Meter allows to measure incredibly small inductances making it perfect tool for making all types of RF coils. LC Meter can measure inductances starting from 10nH - 1000nH, 1uH - 1000uH, 1mH - 100mH and capacitances from 0.1pF up to 900nF. The circuit includes an auto ranging and reset function to make sure the readings are as accurate as possible ... [more]
