About Mobile
Dual-Band 2m/440 -- Roger K6XQ advises - Can I build a 2m/440mhz 5/8
mobile antenna? A 1/4 wave on
144 MHz is 3/4 wave on 440. The SWR is usually acceptable on the
3rd harmonic, although that is partly due to the increased feeder
losses on 440. But SWR is not the whole story. A 3/4 wave
radiator on 440 has radiation lobes that send some of your signal
at high angles, not toward the horizon where you probably want
it. This is usually not so severe to make the antenna unusable,
and may be considered a reasonable compromise for the dual band
coverage. A 5/8 wave antenna on 144 MHz is 15/8 waves on 440. If
you do the simple math you will see that on 440 you will have
almost a 2 wavelength antenna, which is becoming what we call a
"long wire" on the HF bands. As you probably know, a
long wire radiates with multiple lobes, the largest of which are
toward the ends of the wire. In other words, most of your signal
will be radiated up toward the sky. The reason for the coil in
commercial dual band antennas is to phase the antenna currents so
you actually end up with two colinear elements which both radiate
at low angles, reinforcing each other and providing gain. Without
the phasing coil you get multiple undesirable lobes. Also keep in
mind that 5/8 wave is NOT a resonant length. There are several
ways to compensate for the reactance at the base of a 5/8 wave
radiator, the easiest being to add a small inductance in series
which makes the antenna electrically equivalent to a 3/4 wave.
(3/4 wave is resonant, as you have already discovered). Given
that the gain advantage of a 5/8 wave antenna over a 1/4 wave
antenna is probably not noticeable except under the most
difficult conditions, and even then may or may not make a
difference, my suggestion is to stick with the 1/4 wave antenna.
It is simple and works OK.

2M Yagis. Old TV
Antenna Scheme. Submitted by Gary Ruehle. Drive around and
find/collect old TV antennas that people are throwing away. My
son and I built a dual 6 element stacked yagi for 2 mtr a couple
of years ago. TV antennas were all the building materials we
used. After the antenna was complete, we could hit 2 different
repeaters about 60 mi away using a 1 watt handheld. This antenna
is highly directional.
