I've never used a dipole. Up until now it's been discones, Jpoles and verticle whips -- all store bought too.
However, I've got a unique situation with my vehicle in which I need to disguise and/or hide a 2 meter horizontally mounted dipole antenna. I am wondering if anyone here has any suggestions.
Is it best to build your own? Are there particularly good plans you suggest?
Is there any commercial solutions? (They make plenty of HF dipoles commercially.)
The real purpose for this is to mount a dipole on a bumper of a vehicle for APRS operation for a DIY lojack system.
