NOAA weather satellite image signal capture (part II)

Building the antenna
Now we have everything to build our antenna. So, we take a couple of axis made of wood. Indeed, our antenna needs of a wooden support on which to place the cables.

You have to cut a pair of copper of 53 cm longer wires and connect them through an electrict connector to the coaxial cable.

Our antenna
Now, we have to connect the other end to the receiver:



Connection done!

This is a picture referred to the simple antenna made up of two crossed woden axis (at 120°):

Project design (handmade!)

And the antenna realised, I suggest placing it in a free obstacle zone:

V-antenna!

No obstacles near there

120° angle between the two axises

The way in which the couple of wires as conjuncted to the antenna cable

Obtaining a single piece of this electric junction is very simple: you can cut the original strip in the single piece you need.

The final relization in all of its length
