Ideas for a homemade mobile antenna.
I have constructed a homeade antenna that is mounted on a trunk-lip mount on
a Nissan Sentra. The bottom is 18" of 1/2" copper pipe with a 3/8" theaded adapter soldered in the bottom. There is a 9" long peice of pvc with a 2" diameter 6ga. copper coil around it. Then there is 4" more copper pipe with a 3ft' stainless tip on top. The problem is that it would be too easy to bend the trunk with copper pipe. I thought about a spring but then the whole thing would bend too much when the trunk is opened. If I move the coil down below roof level, the SWR goes way up. I thought about using pvc for the lower part but I can't quite figure out how to construct it. I may take some pictures of what I have. Stay tuned...... |
