Make Your Own Gear!
One of the coolest things about Amateur Radio is building your own gear. Hams were the original makers, tinkering and building equipment whether it be for portable use or for at home in the shack. On this page are a few "homebrew" DIY builds for various Amateur Equipment, built by hams in our club and largely sourced from locally available parts.
Projects:
- Dual Band Threaded Rod Antenna - Snazzy 2m/70cm J-Pole Antenna that is totally tunable
- Simple Dipole - Easy Dipole Base with swappable bands
- Easy Ground Spike - Super easy ground spike build
- Dual FireStik Antenna - Awesome portable antenna build
- Resonant Wire Antennas with Screen Ground Plane - Incredibly effective system
- Dog Stake Mast Holder - Really cheap and really easy
- "Random Wire" Antenna - Easy and effective antenna for home or field use
- "Residential" Off-Centre-Fed Dipole - More bands for your buck!
