Building the Bias-T of the mini whip antenna designed by PZ0RDT and making the first test on reception. So far it looks promising and I am looking forward to the final results.

Check the latest post here on the YouTube channel ( community tab ) for some extra info on the experiments and measurements I made after I finished making the video. We will end with a part three of the video towards the end of September when I will do a proper antenna installation on location. I am still searching for proper replacements of the transistors used in the original schematic ( watch the end of the video to understand why this is so important to me ).

Not to create confusion, ( thanks Andrei YO6TJJ for the correction ), I was saying that I was measuring the SWR or the antenna. What I mean was that I was actually checking the output impedance going out of the Bias-T to the receiver. So basically I wanted to check the impedance the receiver would see on that output.

NOTE:
I’m not an engineer and I’ve never studied electronics. I build equipment for fun as a way to relax, enjoying the amateur radio hobby. All videos and projects are built with the limited knowledge I had at the time I recorded each video. As time goes by, I hope to also improve all the projects. Some may be updated and I publish new videos on the same project. Always check for the latest versions.
