WiFi Biquad Antenna Support
Mount
Your Antenna for under $8
Once
you build a biquad you realize that it won't stand on it's
own. The LMR-400 cable is very heavy and always pulls on your
antenna causing it to face up. Using an antenna mount helps
prevent this. It keeps the antenna locked in place and aids
you in fine positioning the direction of the antenna.
You
can purchase an antenna mount or even a security camera mount.
They will work great but they tend to be expensive. I used
a combination of electrical and plumbing pieces to build this
antenna support for under $8 U.S. [Fig. 1]. It works well
as a table stand [Fig. 2] and it can also be wall mounted
using the screw holes on the base plate. The range of articulation
is far greater with this mount then with a typical security
camera mount.
