  2. 70-centimeter band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/70-centimeter_band

    The primary advantage of 70 centimeters is that base station antennas of very significant gain (up to 11 dB or so) are practical while 6 dB is about the practical limit on 2m. The extra 5 dB of receive and transmit gain are often critical for long-range communication, particularly for high-power repeaters which can then concentrate all of their ...

  6. 2-meter band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-meter_band

    The 2-meter amateur radio band is a portion of the VHF radio spectrum that comprises frequencies stretching from 144 MHz to 148 MHz [1] in International Telecommunication Union region (ITU) Regions 2 (North and South America plus Hawaii) and 3 (Asia and Oceania) [2] [3] and from 144 MHz to 146 MHz in ITU Region 1 (Europe, Africa, and Russia).

  7. Amateur radio satellite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_satellite

    Hence, the receiver frequency at the ground station must be adjusted higher to continue receiving the satellite. The satellite in turn, will be receiving the uplink signal at a higher frequency than normal so the ground station's transmitted uplink frequency must be lower to be received by the satellite. After the satellite passes overhead and ...

  8. Whip antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip_antenna

    A whip antenna is an antenna consisting of a straight flexible wire or rod. The bottom end of the whip is connected to the radio receiver or transmitter. A whip antenna is a form of monopole antenna. The antenna is designed to be flexible so that it does not break easily, and the name is derived from the whip-like motion that it exhibits when ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collinear_antenna_array

    Collinear dipole array on repeater for radio station JOHG-FM on Mt. Shibisan, Kagoshima, Japan. In telecommunications, a collinear antenna array (sometimes spelled colinear antenna array) is an array of dipole or quarter-wave antennas mounted in such a manner that the corresponding elements of each antenna are parallel and collinear; that is, they are located along a common axis.
