Slim Jim Antennas with Tim G1HBC

This evening we were pleased to host Tim G1HBC who talked about his experience building Slim Jim antennas for 2m, 70cm, and 1090Mhz bands. The latter was put to effective use tracking aircraft and was demonstrated to outperform a more expensive commerical setup!

Tim discussed a variety of construction techniques and shared his valuable insights in to how to build and tune an often underrated antenna.

The talk was recorded by Alex 2E0KUD and is available to view on his Youtube channel.
