Wyoming Survival: Cheap VHF Yagi

Originally appears on Wyoming Survival. T1P has a course coming up as well. Go train. – NCS

70 CM 3 element yagi I made using snare wire..

Need to build a 2 meter yagi antenna on the cheap?? Here are some plans.
Increase your HT signal strength.
Use it to DF someone or something.
Use it to narrow your signal going out.
Build it because its fun!

Good stuff!
I learned how to build a beam when I was 16 and on 11 meters. All ya need is a driven element, a director and a reflector.

That’s the way to do it !
Get a cheap VNA and build one with more elements.
I use chopped up wire coat hangers, they work great.
