Hi Margaret, thanks for this video, and well done! A newly-licensed friend has built one of these antennas per your instructions, and reports improved performance on his car compared to his 1/4 wave whip antenna. I remember you from Brisbane North Radio Club (BNRC) in the early-to-mid 1980s - I was licensed as VK4VLE then VK4BMD, and known at the Club as "Mike 4". 73, Mike VK2IG.

My 33 years of exposure to radio and antennas has left me with the idea that placing the coil at the bottom to be not as good as putting it at least half way up the length of the antenna so that ground losses are minimized. Also going from a solid copper conductor (the coil) to the braided radiating part may not be as good as just continuing with the solid wire. Another good thing to do is to finish the top of the antenna with an adjustable tip. So instead of searching for all these parts, just get 5 feet long FireStick CB antenna, remove the wire from it and then you have the right base, fiberglass rod, and adjustable tip ready to go, just add your own coil and radiating section(s), this way you save time that you can use for experimenting.

A coil at the middle of the antenna is common to dual band antennas, where the antenna is resonant at the lower (144MHz) frequency but the higher frequency can't pass the coil because of the higher inductance, and instead the bottom part of the antenna is resonant. Such antennas often also have a coil at the bottom, compensating for the non dipole-ness of the antenna.

The antenna is made to be used with a mobile mount (either permanent or mag-mount) on the vehicle. When connected to your radio, the braid of the coax will connect to the vehicle chassis (ground) which forms the ground plane. The center of the coax will connect to the base of the antenna. I have made similar antennas using fibre glass rod with wire, coax braid or copper foil as the conductive element. I can report they work just fine! Using UV resistant heatshrink is a good idea.

Very Nice Video and so Sweet. Thanks!
great video, explained in detail, thanks :)
that 2 metere ant is for the frequency of 144 MHZ. CB is usualy 27 MHZ. possibly the best mobile whip for 27 MHZ would be a helical whip. I may make a video of that one later.
Perfect tutorial
great video
Hi Miss margaret. I need a antenna for 6 meters only for reception (no transmition)¿witch is the long of the antenna and the coil turns? (sorry for my horrible grammatic english) thank you.
Excelent video! Any ideas for a dipole 2.4GHz antenna to be used with a ALFA USB WIFI Adapter?
