Arrow Antenna

I receive many questions about the arrow antenna and tripod mounting used in my AO-51 video. This video covers, what the arrow antenna is, where to buy it, and how it mounts to the tripod. I show show how easily the antenna is assembled.

I forgot to mention, the antenna got its name from using arrows as the elements.

curious how you attached the extra bracket you created for the tripod? Did you remove the duplexer temporarily and tap some threads in the existing hole?

[K7AGE]

My arrow has a tapped hole, and it is away from the duplexer, so no problems.

I have a Yaesu 5100 for my car. How do I choose a good antenna. I want to be able to reach 100 miles.

[K7AGE]

Distance on V/UHF is mainly line of sight. The higher you are the further you can work. This is why repeaters are up high. For the car a common 5/8 2M antenna works good.

I have that arrow. In my knee.

There seems to be some misconceptions.

Antenna elevation is first, gain is second, power is third.

The reason satellites work so well is the elevation and excellent antennas, a few watts covers the entire CONUS.

What the arrow antenna does is allows one to carry a dual band Yagi that can easily be disassembled and transported.

The satellites are the true key elements, without them range on VHF/UHF would be very limited indeed.
