Hmmm ?? A construction project!! Or, is it a recipe?
Start with a 48 inch length of stainless steel 1/16 inch diameter rod. Add a new coil at one end to be tapped for a 50 ohm match at 146 MHz. Add a new capacitor connected in parallel with the coil. Adjust capacitor and inductance to achieve 146 MHz resonance. Using an antenna analyzer locate and solder a tap coil for 50 ohm match. Seal all with a strong weather proof sealant. Install in mount provided at point of sale. Install on vehicle. After failure, replace with commercial 146 MHz antenna Deacon Dave, W1MCE |
