SUMMARY:"Tape Measure" Yagi Antenna Building Workshop
DESCRIPTION:These antennas use three steel “tape measure” elements that
  fold easily to allow you to quickly get in and out of your vehicle and ye
 t remain stiff enough to be self-supporting when hunting for a hidden tran
 smitter. Between hunts\, the elements can be folded or rolled to reduce st
 orage space. This antenna design has been in use for decades for ARDF and 
 transmitter or fox hunting\, but also can be used to contact astronauts on
  the International Space Station\, make satellite repeater contacts\, exte
 nd your HT range to hit that repeater in the next county\, sniff out local
  RFI noise\, locate a stuck transmitter or jammer… the options are endle
 ss.\n\nThere are no special skills or tools needed to participate in the w
 orkshop\, just the ability to follow instructions and an interest to have 
 a good time. Each participant will get a complete kit with all the parts n
 eeded to build an antenna with a male BNC connector on the end of the coax
 .\n\nWe will have all the tools and supplies available so you will leave t
 he workshop with a tested and functioning antenna. During the workshop\, w
 e will provide some additional ideas for enhancements to make later if you
  so choose. If you bring your HT or handheld scanner\, there will be a fox
  hidden outside for you to practice finding.\n\nIf you are not able to att
 end but are interested in an unassembled kit (with instructions) and can m
 ake arrangements to pick it up in Ames or Urbandale\, please register and 
 put in the comments that you will not be attending on 4/1.\nPreregistratio
 n and prepayment is required by March 23\, 2017 so we can order enough sup
 plies and save on shipping costs.  Due to additional interest\, we are ex
 tending the pre-registration deadline to 8:00am on March 29th... but with 
 an increased cost of $20 per kit (because of increased component and shipp
 ing costs).
