I hate you all.
You've got me hooked, and I can't go back.
So, in addition to the TWO shortwave antenna, TWO television antennas and the ONE scanner antenna (loop one, showed it in a previous post), I've felt rather compelled.
Yeah, I totally need more antennas.
I've recently made/constructed/assembled TWO MORE antennas.
One vertical dipole, tuned to 149 meg, for pager decoding (but currently being pushed into other roles )
And a UHF CB Whip.
The dipole is made out of two pieces of copper pipe, housed in painted PVC pipe, tuned to 149 meg:
(And yes, I know the feedline is far to close to the elements )
It also looks bent in the photo??? It's not IRL.
The next, which hangs out on a boom from the scanner antenna, is the UHF BC Whip:
It kinda works, but only kinda, i'm in the process of building a 9db collinear to replace it (on a seperate mast).
That's in a previous thread I posted a couple of minutes ago).
So, comments, questions, criticism?
MORE new antenna

Re: MORE new antenna
Yep, as long as they work and make you happy that you built them, looks great!
I often build my own Dipoles (For Rxing) tuned to particular or centered frequencies..
Hell, i even use recycled VHF Tv Antennas for AIS Ship Tracking & Pager Decoding! I think you may have seen that post!
No such this as "have too many antennas" ha ha
Cheers
