DIY Scanner Antenna
You might try googling the discone antenna. Has a 10:1 frequency range.
Haven't built one myself (yet), but will try one of these days. |

DIY Scanner Antenna
Greetings All!
I have been toying with the idea of building a discone antenna for scanning. I have a couple of junk TV antennas and I think I will make good use of the elements and construct a discone. I have thought about using the UHF end off of one and put it on a small rotor for directional use in the UHF bands. Just some fodder for the brain. Have a great week! Jon in Upstate South Carolina.

Just keep the VHF too and be sure to turn it vertical. Should make a
great UHF/VHF beam. On 19 Dec 2006 22:42:37 -0800, "jon" wrote: Greetings All! I have been toying with the idea of building a discone antenna for scanning.
