Building a tape-measure Yagi-Uda

Justin Giorgi, AI6YM has designed an easy-to-build version of the 2m Tape-Measure Yagi.

If you are interested in building an antenna, you must sign up online using this form.

  • Build start time: 10:30am
  • Build end time: 12:30pm
  • Cost: $10/antenna
From 10:30am until 3:00pm, there will also be a number of Fox transmitters in the field for direction finding practice with your newly built antenna.

How do I get there?

We’ll be in the Group Picnic Area (Google Maps) of Cupertino Memorial Park.

Parking

Several parking options for Memorial Park are located along Alves Dr. (off of Stelling):

  • Smallish lot for the park – may be full, and is partially occupied by a construction area
  • Street parking along Alves
  • In the Community Center lot (Quinlan Community Center, which is closed on weekends).

(Navigation apps may take you to Stevens Creek Blvd for the park but that is not where the parking is. Do not park in the the Sports Center lot. The Senior Center lot is mainly permit parking only, with a few non-permit spots, usually full.)

Registration

We can only accept 40 registrations for the antenna build, and will close the form when the limit is reached.

Please fill in the following form with the required information and only afterwards pay via the PayPal link below.

Payment

Once you’ve registered in the above step, you can now continue to the payment page.
