Just mount two pieces of electrical conduit, of the appropriate length, to a board with about 2" between them and attach your coax to the pipes and you are on the air. Mount the board on a mast and you can even turn the antenna. It should be a bit bi-directional. Try to get it up at least 20' feet and it will work better with 40' probably the best. |
