Debra simple and cheap inverted V can be made from a roll of speaker wire
nd
the chassis connector from an old radio. (female PL-259 jack)
70 feet of twin-lead speaker wire can become two 70 foot legs of the dipole.
Each leg would then be soldered to the chassis connector,one to the centre
and one to a mounting hole,to give a `live' and `ground' leg.
Fed with 50 or so feet of co-ax and your all set.
I had this for 80m when I first go HF a few years back and it worked fine.
