[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 971506, member: 325666"] Well after considerable reading yesterday and today ...it would appear the most suitable L band 1.5 ghz antenna to dish mount is the helical ... So ...got some plans ..and made a start .. Ordered a sheet of 4mm polycarbonate ..to manufacture a rigid X support for the helical element ..and a couple of sma female bulkhead connectors .. I have already fashioned the helical element from 2mm copper wire ..and cut my reflector/backplate from powder coated steel .. (was an old PC case side..) Here is a pic of the 2 pieces already fashioned ... Ignore the silver sticky tape .. Twas just for the photo .. rgds VS.. [ATTACH=full]93293[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
