JI1FGX/DU9 Mindanao Diary144MHz 3-stage colinear(2009/08/20)
I made a prototype of a 144MHz 3-stage collinear based on page 111 of "Introduction to Revised New Edition of Handmade Antennas" by CQ Publishing Co.
The measurement was made using only copper wire, hung from the eaves and measured with MFJ-259B, and good values were obtained.

By the way, a capacitor using a coaxial cable in the matching section can be used even if the value is a little off.
By widening or narrowing the spacing of the gamma match above it, the SWR is likely to drop.

We will work on replacing this prototype with aluminum pipe again later.
First, make a matching section capacitor according to the reference book
Incidentally, since 3D-2V and 5D-2V are not available here, I used both 8D-2V sent from Japan and RG8U bought in Osamis.
I made it a little longer because the capacity was a little low when I made it as per the reference book with RG8U
This is 8D-2V capacity
By the way, even without any capacitors connected with MFJ-259B, it shows 4pF. It is probably stray capacitance.
This is the completed power feed section
Incidentally, M-type square-seated connectors are not available, so I had to get creative.
Make a capacitor at the end of 5m 8D-2V without cutting
I installed radials and gamma matches there.

Copper wire is stocked in the store for motor repair, but brass pipe was not available
Phase coil part
I also looked for plastic and acrylic boards, but could not find any.
Kitchen utensils, buckets, trash cans, so we'll have to substitute.
