I want to build some mobile antennas for 10 15 and 20 meters but I am
having trouble with the physical design of the coil.


I've had good luck on those bands using relatively short
lengths of 1.5" diameter, 6 TPI, coil stock and just
tie-wrapping the coil to the middle of the fiberglas rod.

Thanks Cecil, I have some old fiberglass 11m antennas, the kind that has a
wire antenna heatshrinked to a fiberglass rod that would be pefect for
making this.
