Antenna Band Tags

thingiverse

Tags to help you identify which wire antenna is which on that windy mountain top. Obvious bands: **6 - 160** **TRI** (homebuilt version of the LNR Triband 20m/30m/40m antenna for the MTR3b) **TEFR** (terminated end fed random wire) The commercial version of this is the Bushcomm MIL-1 Portable Light Weight at 600UKP. It's basically about 24m of wire, a counterpoise, a 9:1 unun and a 500 ohm resistor. Easy to make one up for a few quid/bucks. The nice thing about the antenna is it doesn't need a tuner. See http://on5au.be/content/a10/wire/lw2.html for an explanation. This is quite a quick print - I did all of them in an hour and a half. Grey seems to work well with the shadow to make the numbers stand out, or you could paint and sand back to get a contrast colour. Printed with 100% fill. Size 10mm x 30mm x 3.5mm
