QFH antenna for sat dish feed horn at 1700MHz or 1.7GHz GOES Satellite Weather Rx

Upscaled to new heights by amplifying the original to 141.176% of its former frequency, transforming it from 2.4GHz to 1.7GHz. One setup is slightly smaller than the other, boasting a larger diameter but shorter height. Both antennas are roughly one wavelength in size and when connected with copper wire or small gauge tubing, they produce excellent soldering points. The wires are linked together in a precise >-| |-< configuration, effectively creating an efficient dipole antenna with a unique twist. This setup yields a Right-Hand Circularly Polarized (RHCP) antenna feed that can be used as a Helical antenna feed for a standard Satellite TV dish serving as the reflector, while this one serves as the feed horn. Mounting and receiving 1700MHz signals from the Geo-Synchronous Goes 16 satellite is now possible using either a Linux box or a Windows box.
