If you want a nice factory built folded dipole, just take one of the
crossed dipoles, like radio shack sells, and remove one of the two dipoles
and through it away. You are left with a single folded dipole with higher
gain than the crossed dipole. That is what I use.


Radio Shack no longer sells the crossed dipole. I spent some time last month
trying to find one, ended up getting the last FM Yagi I could find in stock
in the Minneapolis_St. Paul area...looks like they are discontinuing that
too.
