Hi am looking to build a Dipole for 455 Mhz just to receive I have been looking around but can't find much on this maybe some body could help me out looking at 6 Element or a half wave dipole in mm would be great with the spacing.

Thanks

You are talking about two different types of antenna. Do you want a beam or a dipole? A dipole would be very simple to construct. A beam would be a little more difficult.

Hi there thanks for coming back to me so fast I would like to build a simple dipole just not sure about the length from left to right or the dipole ----------- mm [ ] mm ------------- not sure what size to cut the metal poles for 455 Mhz 455.000 Mhz up to 456.000.

Thanks
