I just purchased a dualband vhf/uhf radio
but I don't have any dualband antennas.

I would like to know if there are any
on-line plans for dual band antennas
that I can build _without_ benefit
of a antenna analyzer or 70cm swr
bridge. This would be for mounting
at home, not mobile or portable.
And I prefer something omnidirectional.

I have some aluminum stock lying around.
Any ideas?


My homebrew 2-meter j-pole (made from 450-ohm ladderline) is also
resonant on its 3rd harmonic, 70cm, and has reasonably low swr on both
bands.

Just do a net search for 2-meter j-poles. Easy to make. And you'll
have a dual bander.
