VHF/UHF GENERIC ANTENNA MOUNT  

VHF/UHF Generic Antenna Mount. Install July 2011


 

The VHF/UHF Generic Antenna Mount consisting of a standard antenna mirror mount bracket with a female to female N connector bulkhead type socket install. The view is that number experimental antennas are to be constructed around the standard male N connectors. This arrangement should be suitable for simple antennas such as 1/4 wave ground plane from frequencies as low as 50MHz to more complex collinear antennas in low GHz bands and represents convenient test bed for trailing various antenna designs.
