Wanted: Cheap Antenna

[Stretch]

As the title suggests I'm after a cheap antenna for my CB radio.

Has a PL259 plug.

[Stretch]

Or a connector/adaptor.

Must be BNC (male) to PL259 (female)

If I were you I wouldn't go for a cheap generic one, some are usually dissapointing what you pay is what you get.

Im about to buy one of these ones https://www.contactcom.net.au/index.php ... &Itemid=53 from those guys because it works out cheaper because of free freight, and still a decent price.

Think I found one.

Thanks Shane.

Have you thought about making one ?

More tuned into the bands that you are interested in - rather than a broadband aerial ?

Maybe good activity to do over one weekend - after raiding the local shops

[Stretch]

Never thought of that.

Hard to make?

[Phantom]

No - they are fairly easy to make

I did have a link to a great little dipole aerial - however the link is dead now ... i will search around for the information - step by step guide and i will PM it thru to you - when i find it again

Seems that the website that had step-bystep instructions on this particular dipole is down at the moment ...

By when i find the info - or similar info - i will be sure to post it on here - for all to view ...
Just gotta find it again

In the mean time - try this link out http://nsw.wicen.org.au/main.php?page=t ... pole/index May get your started - nad/or give you a few ideas on the dipole

I know its from a different website - however the details are great ....

I have copied the information for personal use into a pdf file - so that if the website goes down again - or they remove the information - i have it on file - easier to print out as well....
