This is how to build a cheap antenna for                         UŽŽŽŽ¨ ŽAŽ
the 2 meter band. I have made several of                   Cap-> 3    3  3
them and find that they work well. It is                         AŽŽŽŽ'  3
built from an article that appeared in                           3    3  3
CQ and was written by W8YDF. KA8LLE and                          3    3  3
I worked on this project and found that                          3    3  3
the antenna can be made from copper pipe.                        3    3  3
What is needed to make the antenna is one                        3    3  3
10' length of 1/2" copper pipe, one 1/2"                         3    3  3
copper tee, one 1/2" copper Ell, and two                         3    3  3
1/2" copper caps.  This is all soldered                          3    3  3
together and makes a very strong antenna.                        3    3  3

cut. The feed line hooks to the antenna                          3    3  3
at 2 3/4" up from the top of the bottom                          3    3  3
cross pipe. I hooked the coax to the                             3    3  3
antenna by drilling a hole in the pipe     ŽAŽŽ UŽŽŽŽ¨           3    3  3
then soldering a 10/32 nut over the hole.   3   3    3 <-Cap     3    3  3
That way you can put a 10/32 screw          3   AŽŽŽŽ'           3    3  3
through a wire and fasten it to the         3   3    3           3    3  3
antenna.  The total cost of the antenna     3   3    3           3    3  3
should be around $5.00. It makes a good     3   3    3           3    3  3
