Easy antenna projects

These are basic antennas that are easy to build and suitable for the beginner, but useful to anyone.

These are projects intended for an individual to complete and take the result home. Some of these are completed designs for which we have parts and can build at any meeting. IF you want to build one of these, please notify us ahead of time (in discord or in previous meeting) so we can make sure we have enough parts for everyone who wants to build one.

If you would like to build one of the antennas that we don't have a selected complete design, bring it up at the meeting and we can discuss options and refine the selection.
