- How to build a small RF signal source for antenna testing. I show a few construction methods and how I fly the transmitter under my drone.

More great engineering, Steve! Thanks for posting. 73, Jim K9YC
How about using a drone to suspend a very tall vertical monopole for 160m, 630m, and of course 2200m ?
Might need a bigger drone to hold-up 550m of wire.
Steve, do you remember which wire gauge you used on the binocular transformer, please?
I do appreciate your comments. 73!
I think I used 32 gauge very fine magnet wire. Any wire will work. Maybe you can use wire from old transformer or relay coil?
@ve6wz Thank you so much for the information, as well as your work. I do appreciate all your videos.
Fantastic idea I have a go at building one de 2e0ree
Can you share the results for one of your antennas?
Hi Filipe,
Yes, this is another video planned. Unfortunately I "ran out of season" this fall when the snow started and cold weather came. Last night it was -25C at the remote.
My hope is to present my results for all my rx antennas.
This will include the 9circle RX array, my above ground Beverages, both single and broadside phased, and also my new RX system with Beverage on the ground system. With the new BOG system I hope to measure single wire, broadside phased pairs and also en-echelon end-fire pairs broadside phased. A BSEF array of BOGs (w4 wires per direction)
This may not be ready until early or mid summer next year.
@@ve6wz fantastic effort, and what a treasure for us armchair dreamers! 73.
