VHF FM Radio Antenna Construction?

"What can I do?" You are installing an FM receiving antewnna inside. Go for a twinlead dipole about 5 feet long and accept the received signals you get. Range is line of sight so the nearby stations with high antennas will probably be received satisfactorily. MFJ may sell such a dipole readymade. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |

Like I said in the post you replied to, I have about half this. Try starting with a twinlead dipole of this length, and shape it into a near-circle with around 6" between the ends of the arms. This will give you a vaguely-omnidirectional pattern, using an antenna which fits into a 2' circle. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Friends of Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
