New here. If this is the incorrect section I apologize. I've got an old AM/FM radio for my shop and there's no antenna. There are hookups in the back, and I can switch the radio from 75 (ohms?) to 25. There are multiple connections for me to hook an antenna up to which you don't have to educate me on here. I don't want to flood you with a million questions. I am mostly wanting an idea of the best antenna I can build for this radio from the materials I have on hand in my shop:
3-5' x 1/2" of copper pipe and various copper fittings.
1000' of cable tv coax
About 100' of heavier gauge copper stereo wire (think ground wire)
I can solder a little and I have thought of some designs, but don't know if they'll be any better than simply hooking up a long stretch of coax to the radio and fixing it to the roof of my shop.
Any help is greatly appreciated and illustrations would be a dream. If I can see it, I can build it.
