Does anyone have a plan that I can build without a gamma match. Just
something that is a straight forward dipole. Thanks all.


Use your imagination.
I used two pieces of 1/2 inch copper pipe, a plastic "T" and a 3'
length of thin wall conduit.

To be neat you can put pipe caps over the ends of the 1/2 inch pipe.

Cut them to length, pull the coax through the thin wall, out through
the "T" with the braid to one side and the center conductor to the
other (solder each and keep the leads as short as possible.. Use hose
clamps, tape, tywraps, or what ever to fasten the thin wall to a
support. Make sure the copper pipes are in the vertical plane.

You can also build 4 folded dipoles, out of copper pipe and fittings.
Feed it with a 90 ohm coax cable harness, get some gain and that
antenna is rugged.
