Got the urge to convert a CB antenna down to 14 mhz or more, so thought I'd put it in kind of kit format. It is designed to be very lightweight and flexible in configuration - suitable for indoors, patio, or even permanent with adequate tie-downs.
The short story: Take a cb antenna, and top-load it to lower the resonant freq with light-duty components.
Here is a shot of the base, and the antenna. It consists of
#33-370 microphone stand
#21-937 mirror / rack mount with backing plate turned vertically.
#21-988 CB stainless whip with loading coil, 64 inches tall
Optionally use the #21-903 stainless whip with no coil. I chose the smaller whip for easier management indoors near windows, etc.
