since this LP is designed for 400-1000 MHz it’s not going to work very well as-is for WiFi at 2400 MHz. Should be good for off-air DTV however.

Log periodics are fairly easy to design. Started my career designing them at a company called Tecom. Got pretty good at it. Have one in the attic that covers 225-400 MHz to eavesdrop on military aircraft in the area. The mechanics of putting one together is the trick, they can get heavy for lower frequencies.

A PC is not needed, we just used pocket calculators. The software being used in the vid is $$$.

Very cool. A nice boost for your handheld.

Been reading about Kent Britain's work for years in the ham radio microwave publications. I used to me a member in the North Texas Microwave Club at the same time he was.

He's more than an amateur radio operator. He's an RF engineer, and does it for a living. Same as me, but Kent's smarter ;-)
