Been thinking about a 'BigRedBee'. I was wondering where a good place to put it would be? On the rocket I mean.
I clicked on the link for building a 70cm beam. I think a 5 ele beam is a little overkill. Look here:
If you're gonna spend $100 for the rig etc., spend another $30 for one of these...just have a bnc to sma adapter for your radio if you need one. I plan on using my ICOM Q7A for such things.
Of course you can build a handheld 70cm beam VERY inexpensively.
Just Google It!
Oh, before I get reamed, I downloaded the schematic and pic source code, all is very clear and can be made BUT....Get the board! And everything else. If this is what you want, pay the c-note and be done with it....good deal.
Greg's got ya there! I'll be ordering.
