Willenweb II CE Prototype Antenna

---

Here's what the antenna looks like so far...

     

The new Willenweb is an eight element blade antenna tuned for the 2M band. Each antenna connects to a pin diode switch that selects, in a circular fashion, one element after another.  Signal strengths are captured, processed and displayed giving a directional pattern. 

Next on the list of things to do build is the new phasing harness. The original one had 48 lengths of RG174 with 32 pin diode switches, inductors, bypass capacitors and a whole lot more.  The result of the phasing harness is a rotating cardioid pattern which is the goal here also.
