questions about building CB antenna...
Hi, I am looking to build an antenna for CB band... It will be going up
in my attic with about a 19 foot ceiling. I would like to have it free standing as I have no way to get to the top to hang a wire type antenna... here is what I was thinking of doing: I was going to biuld a 1/2 dipole but out of 1/2" copper pipe using PVC pipe as insulators for the center and bottom and building some kind of wood base for it. will this work the same as a 12g wire dipole? do I still make each side 8' 5" long or will this change? Does it matter what side is up? any tips or ideas? thanks Jim |
