At our April meeting, SPARC members and guests resumed building the 6m J-Pole antennas that we began in March. The final step in constructing the antenna is to tune it by shortening the resonating wire element. By taking a reading with an antenna analyzer or VNC, we were able to determine if the antenna would resonate on a particular frequency.
For reference, here is the 6m band plan as provided by the ARRL:
And here is a link to the band plan as a PDF provided by SCRRBA.
At our May 6 meeting we will conclude the build for anyone who needs additional help and use the antennas on the air.
