System Blue Antennas - Roger-VP8DBR - 2016-05-17
Hi All Blitzortunger's
Can you Blitzortunger's point me in the direction of drawings / designs / plans for "non Ferrite" antennas.
Loop's or wire, I need to build up physically strong (Wind Proof) antennas for a Blue system here in Falkland Islands.
I have built up all sorts of antennas for Amateur radio use over the years so construction is not too much of a
problem. I can get hold of various sections of alloy tube, wire, insulated / non insulated in various diameters.
Regards All

You may check in the RED documentation: http://fr.blitzortung.org/Compendium/Documentations/Documentation_2014-05-11_Red_PCB_10.4_PCB_12.3_PCB_13.1_PCB_14.1.pdf
You'll find some info about antennas. They are the same for system BLUE.

I can not find the instructions now. I thought they were over on wxforum.net.
Someone used sheets of insulating foam cut them to to fit in a plastic trash can.
The sheets were cut halfway so they lock together and form a cross shape.
Then a small channel was cut in the edges to hold the wire which was wound.
I thought there dimensions and winding counts, but I do not see it.
The plastic trash can with lid makes a nice nice container for a loop antenna if you can anchor down.
I think this is the link.
