DIY Antenna Project

[N9PVW]

A couple of weeks ago I attached a PDF antenna file that I saw on this site, and was asked to show some picture of the finished antenna. Below are some pictures of the antenna.

I build this antenna about 6 years ago, and I’m still using it, inside my shack, which has metal siding. I can reach 35-to 45 mile radius with no problem. You could probably use it outside with some Coax-Seal around the SO-239; I would also spray the antenna with varnish, or shellac.

Total cost for the project was around 15.00 dollars
