I just read the post in the listener forum on Liveatc.net "Airband Yagi antenna designs" at Airband Yagi antenna designs | LiveATC.net.
I am very intrigued by this, and have made yagis before, but for 800-900MHz. I have yet to try one set up for airband VHF.
I am wondering if what I am trying to do will even be worth my efforts. I live on the jersey shore, very close to the ocean (1 block) and would like to try and pick up JFK tower, app and dep. Do you think I would be able to here the controllers from where I am located with this antenna pointed at JFK? Has anyone else had luck with it before? I really appreciate your input.
Attached is a NY sectional chart of where I am in relation to JFK, approx 30 miles southwest.
