Wow! Finished building my first 868 MHz ground plane antenna for Meshtastic!
Still needs SWR measuring with a VNA and maybe shortening a bit, which will be my first time doing that, too.
For a test it already got too late but I will keep you updated about the results. Also I would like to try different antenna designs, it's quite fun!
