I don't have any 300 ohm twin leed and really(at this time) don't feel like
doing the copper pipe thing .Is there another easy way to make one.My
thoughts were to maybe take and attach some wires to a board say a 1x4 and
just make it work accordingly.It's only for a temporary scanner antenna for
in the back yard on my patio. The stock rubber duckie antenna doesn't
recieve anything as I'm kinda out in the boonies and an antenna with some
gain would work.I tried a magna mount CB antenna and believe it or not it
was pulling in signals that weren't even resonant to the frequency it was
designed for.
So,in a nutshell there it is. Thanks in advance for any comments or
suggestions.
Best regards,
Will
