2m big-wheel antenna

For a couple of years now I have used a big-wheel horizontal omni antenna on 2m. This is the antenna used in the last few weeks on 2m FT8. It has a near omni-directional horizontal pattern, a little bit of gain and, of course, does not need a rotator. It is ideal for my sort of 2m operation.

The linked page needs updating and this is on my "to do" list!

  1. Hi Roger, I think about to buy the big wheel myself. Now I have a vertical for 2 meters but I never work FM on 2 m. SSB, CW and now FT8 (or wspr) is more my interest. 73 Paul PAØK
