V-dipole antenna construction set This is my go at building a V-dipole antenna (weather sat image reception) The set includes : Antenna base (120 deg.) it uses : 2x 16mm choc blocks (CHS TBS 16mm2 / nf 1751AP) 2x alu rods (diameter 4mm - length 53,4mm) 1x SO239 / 83-1R UHF connector 4x M3 bolts and nuts to mount the SO239 to the base 2x M3 bolts and nuts to attach the base to the support 2x 3mm screws to fix the cover to the base silicone as needed Cap or cover : small version 1 larger version 2 that covers the connectors Support/mast clamp for standard 50mm, 40mm and 32mm PVC tube (needs 4 M6 bolts, washers and nuts) The construction of the antenna follows the well-known 'Adam-9A4QV manual' (see http://rfelektronik.se/manuals/Datasheets/DIY%20137MHz%20WX-sat%20V-dipole%20antenna.pdf) In a way the set presented here is easier to construct : No need to bend the alu rods, they go straight into the choc blocks You only need to solder 2 short wires between the SO239 and the 2 choc blocks Enjoy !
