Workshop Build-athon

Handheld 2m Quad Antenna for your HT

Saturday, March 7, 2026

9:00 am – 11:00 am
HRO Warehouse (enter via showroom doors)

There are a variety of reasons why you would want a 2-meter quad antenna? Which of these resonate with you?

  • increasing signal strength in a specific direction
  • POTA or SOTA, or other portable uses
  • directionality for fox hunting
  • triangulating repeater offenders
  • because it invites questions like “what’s that?” to which you can explain amateur radio

 

This build-athon is based on an article appearing in the January/February On The Air publication from the ARRL. The picture above was snipped from another website and is a variant of the one shown in OTA.

What you will need to bring to this build-athon: tools and parts.
