- In this video on my quest to get into the Sac-Valley Mesh network I try a home made Yagi and OH my what happens! If you have been thinking of getting a 3D printer there is no better time than now!

I did a similar build but used brass rods that can be soldered on.
Great video Chuck. I haven't jumped on the Meshtastic bandwagon yet but watching with interest ;)
Antenna Wizard!
I've been trying to make contacts on 6m and if I spend the time I can make a few per day. It seems meshtastic is similar with lack of people using it. The difference is that anyone else I find on 6m is happy to respond. Meshtastic is like meeting people driving on the road that don't wave back. I'm from Missouri and wave at everyone. The only places I see that use fowl language on the radio is 40m, 11m and meshtastic. Not impressed so far but I keep watching with little hope.
Very cool!
I'm also having a lot of trouble making contacts. I'm thinking that I need to make a solar node and chuck it up a tree on the nearby hilltop.
Yes an antenna outside would help. The Alfa antenna from a good store is a good one. Look at the comms channel solar build.
Why not make a duplexer with one yagi pointing one way and another yagi pointing some other direction ?
Good Idea we talked about that today and I will be looking into it Thanks!
Apologies if I missed it, is the .stl file for the print of this antenna available?
what kinda coax are using?
The test was rg 316 about 8 inches long, at my house station I am using LMR 400 but it is tough with such a light weight antenna. I have some rg 195 so I will try and find a happy middle point. The home unit uses a N connector.
