Back Pack Special -- From W2IK About Mobile Dual-Band
2m/440 -- Roger K6XQ advises - Can I build a 2m/440mhz 5/8
mobile antenna? A 1/4 wave on 144 MHz is 3/4 wave on 440. The SWR is usually acceptable on
the 3rd harmonic, although that is partly due to the increased feeder losses on 440. But SWR is not the whole story. A 3/4 wave
radiator on 440 has radiation lobes that send some of your signal at high angles, not toward
the horizon where you probably want it. This is usually not so severe to make the antenna unusable, and may be considered a reasonable compromise for the
dual band coverage. A 5/8 wave antenna on 144 MHz is 15/8 waves on 440. If you do the simple
math you will see that on 440 you will have almost a 2 wavelength antenna, which is becoming what we
call a "long wire" on the HF bands. As you probably know, a long wire radiates with multiple
lobes, the largest of which are toward the ends of the wire. In other words, most of your
signal will be radiated up toward the sky. The reason for the coil in commercial dual band antennas is to phase the
antenna currents so you actually end up with two colinear elements which both radiate at low angles,
reinforcing each other and providing gain. Without the phasing coil you get multiple undesirable lobes.
Also keep in mind that 5/8 wave is NOT a resonant length. There are several ways to compensate for the reactance at the base of a 5/8 wave radiator, the
easiest being to add a small inductance in series which makes the antenna electrically equivalent to a 3/4 wave.
(3/4 wave is resonant, as you have already discovered). Given that the gain advantage of a 5/8 wave antenna over a 1/4 wave antenna
is probably not noticeable except under the most difficult conditions, and even then may or may not
make a difference, my suggestion is to stick with the 1/4 wave antenna. It is simple and works OK. Parabolic

2M Yagis. Old TV Antenna Scheme.
Submitted by Gary Ruehle. Drive around and find/collect old TV
antennas that people are throwing away. My son and I built a dual 6 element stacked yagi for 2 mtr a couple of years ago. TV antennas were all the building materials we used. After the antenna was complete, we could hit 2 different repeaters about 60 mi away using a 1 watt handheld. This antenna is highly directional.
