SUMMARY:"Tape Measure" Yagi Antenna Building Workshop
DESCRIPTION:These Yagi-type antennas use three steel “tape measure” ele
 ments that fold easily to allow you to quickly get in and out of your vehi
 cle and yet remain stiff enough to be self-supporting when hunting for a h
 idden transmitter. Between hunts\, the elements can be folded or rolled to
  reduce storage space. This antenna design has been in use for decades for
  ARDF and transmitter or fox hunting\, but also can be used to contact ast
 ronauts on the International Space Station\, make satellite repeater conta
 cts\, extend 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 endless.\n\nThere are no special skills or tools needed to participat
 e in the workshop\, just the ability to follow instructions and an interes
 t to have a good time. Each participant will get a complete kit with all t
 he parts needed to build an antenna with a male BNC connector on the end o
 f the coax.\n\nWe will have all the tools and supplies available so you wi
 ll leave the workshop with a tested and functioning antenna. During the wo
 rkshop\, we will provide some additional ideas for enhancements to make la
 ter if you so choose. If you bring your HT or handheld scanner\, there wil
 l be a fox hunt starting at 4pm (one hour after the build session) for you
  to practice finding.\n\nBecause these kits are being offered at cost\, pr
 eregistration and prepayment is REQUIRED by July 23\, 2018 so we can order
  enough supplies and save on shipping costs.
