i need help
in the south of uk there is a small group using PWR frequency 446.09375
thats great but i cannot make a antenna resonate at that frequency?
i want to talk to my pals about 12miles down to coast
ive spent two nights trying to build an antenna
various combinations of standard aerials with reduced wip
ive tried a di pole of two 160mm length wires and various combinations
ive tried j pole with adjustable setting and various combinations
and changed to different coaxs
always antennas seem to resonate at around 430mhz and again at 451mhz but swr at 446 is way out
has any one a idea of what im doing wrong?
i would make a yaga antenna but i dont want to spend ages making antenna for it not to work
