2M Yagi Antenna Maker Meeting
The Yagi antenna is a directional antenna that can identify the source of transmissions. The Southeastern Michigan IEEE EMC Society invites you to a workshop, Build Your Own Small Yagi Antenna at Monolithic Power EMC Labs in Livonia Michigan.
Participants will build their three element Yagi with copper tape on ½” PVC pipe loosely based on videos identified by Kimball Williams N8FNC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh9beU335s4
And

If you want to cheat and check the properties of your antenna before building it, download a copy of 4NEC2 onto your computer before coming to the workshop. We will demonstrate how 4NEC2 can be used to check the antenna pattern before construction. OR, you can show your intuitive or practical HAM skills by figuring an optimal configuration on a napkin.
