Someone asked me about ham radio antennas today, built one out of scrap parts to give them. Radio antennas are easier in metric. 🤔

Fancy 3D printed parts are not necessary.

This is from the "practically free" school of antenna builders. (Random spool of wire acquired somewhere for $1, scrap pieces of PVC from out in the yard, and the antenna connector off an old broken CB radio that would have otherwise e-wasted).

@ai6yr Well .. the state of my T2LT 11m antenna out on the terrasse, it is in it's "stormproof stowed" (shortened) state on a 12m fiberglas spiderbeam (it is shortened to about 8m, that's why the choke "lies around" on parts of the bracing for the spiderbeam). . ;)
