hello,

i want to make this antenna (check link) to get sat weather images sata with my sdr.

will it make a dofference if I replace.the plastic parts with wooden?

also is any other type of antenna more suitable for this purpose? (I want it to be as compact as possible because the only space i have available is on my flat’s window)

    now that i’m thinking, you can make loop antenna with circular polarization and mesh reflector with closer spacing that would be even more compact and that would have more of one sided donut shaped radiation pattern, which would be probably more suitable for your application, but it’s guaranteed to have different impedance and so would require simulation
