Saoirse Dulip<p>The next thing I did was use my hand drill from my Miniature Painting hobby to re-drill holes for my holding pins (as they weren't working with the printed holes). This allowed the elements to stay on the main boon.</p><p>Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) is.. around 1.8 (1.0 is perfect tuning) so I'm ok with that.</p><p>Anyway, without further fanfare, here is the antenna built.</p><p><a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/HamRadioBeginner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadioBeginner</span></a></p>
Saoirse Dulip<p>So, in lieu of that, I used some pliers and bent the threaded arrow shaft inserts a bit so they fit snuggly onto the shafts, then screwed all of that back into the 3D-printed holders. This gave the benefit of, now without the cord, I could tighten the elements down completely and they were not loosey goosey. </p><p><a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/HamRadioBeginner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadioBeginner</span></a></p>

Saoirse Dulip<p>Ok, so I spent a bit of time refinancing the antenna this morning and I am a bit happier about it. I forgot to mention that this build is using the following instructions: <a href="https://k6ark.com/2-element-quick-yagi/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">k6ark.com/2-element-quick-yagi</span><span class="invisible">/</span></a></p><p>The major thing I had to change was, I could not ultimately use the shock cord. It was causing significantly more issues for me than it's benefit. What I lose from this is portability as the elements don't swing down. But honestly, that's fine.</p><p><a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/HamRadioBeginner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadioBeginner</span></a></p>

Saoirse Dulip<p>So I attempted to use the antenna on a Newcomer’s Net last night and I was able to hit the repeater at least. I think they heard my callsign wrong cause I got too nervous and flipped the phonetic alphabet but at least it worked right??</p><p><a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://gamepad.club/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a></p>
