As Promised, 433Mhz QFH #build . In this video we take a look at #howto #build a #QFH antenna for the @tinygs and @SatnogsOrgProject #communities , this #433mhz band antenna is a custom dielectrically loaded antenna which is the reason for its size reduction. this is a wanted attribute since some opperators do not have to option to install large antenna's outside the homes.
So if you are looking for the #perfect #qfh #Antenna to #track #cubesat #weathersats or any 433Mhz eqiupment this is the correct project for you.
This is the first in a series of antenna's aimed at the Satellite tracking community and will be a work in progress untill the prefect option is found.
