They gotta call it summat, but that...

How is the piece you're printing out going to fit the piece showing below?

Think you're in for a bit of a wait although there appears to be a weather front coming in from the west. Hits Ireland tonight/tomorrow morning.

Looks small enough.
How many you planning on adding. I'm assuming too directional will make it picky to use.

The roof!

And your card remained untouched. Be wary of contactless payments.
Not that bad then.

Have fun...

Its a base...
I just did it because it was handy..
There is no weight in the PCB..
I fit a 10mm dia bit of plastic tubing or wood into it and fit the PCB antenna onto the top, I don't need much height, 15 or 18 inches would do nicely and just point E'wards...
Not expecting to really hear much, it'll work better from a high spot but as i say, well after new year I'll have a go, dedicate a weekend to it.
The thing at that is coax cable runs can have high loss with even medium length runs of cable, my locations is't that great at VHF and above so portable working at that band is much more productive for me....
excellent house location for family not radio...

Snow to the W of us today..
Down to minus 2.4c just now and forecasted for minus 5, Mrs M says.....

cards been biffed again.. remember what happens 5 weeks time...
Had enough for the day.......

That's what I thought when you posted the picture today. Then thinking about it's size had me wondering if it was a base(home) project or a mobile one. Be interesting to see when it's finished, ready for use.
You're sounding hopeful, what are you expecting to pick up with it.
Will that be a weekend away, or will you be testing in the "Mhor Mobile"?
Family first, radio second.

Clear here for most of the day, no more snow as yet but I'm hopeful.
Colder weather forecast for the weekend, down these parts at least.

Totted up and recorded? We'll be one week short of 2025!
There's always tomorrow...
