Hi there,
I would like to make a dipole antenna for 11 meters, i have already made a
half wave 2x 2.58 meter but like to try a full
wave antenna 2x 5.17 meters, so far i figured it out is it impossible
because i have to use a balun the say ?.
is there anyone who can help me, or give me a link to make one?
thanks for your help!
Greetings Ed


Ed, most CB users have vertical antennas and your dipole will be
horizontal and this is not good. You may be better off making a 5/8th
ground plane.

I always wanted to try a simple 11 meter dipole mounted vertical to see
if it would really work. Anyone ever tried one?
