Tape Measure Yagi Antenna 2m
Description
**I built it using:** ~3m total of tape measure, width 19mm (¾") ~80cm of Φ25 PVC tube RG85 cable 1x BNC female panel mount socket (note necessary) a piece of wire as a hairpin 6x screws M3x16 and 6x M3 nuts electrical tape **3D parts** idea from [this](https://www.printables.com/model/577440-2m-tape-measure-yagi) model. Almost all the available models are using a 1" tape measure and I wanted to built it with 19mm (¾") tape measure. I tuned it using a nanoVNA and found that the SWR is better if I extend the driven elements from 451mm to 468mm. I used it to send APRS messages to the ISS using a Quansheng UV-K5 radio (with custom firmware) and it worked fine.
