Flower pot antenna

Steve G1KQH recently sent me an email with some useful links on how to make 1/2 wave verticals. I am sharing it with you in case this gives you ideas.

"The latest G4NSJ video pointed me to investigate..

Cheap to make for anything from 28MHz to UHF I guess.. Ideally a starting point is to make one for 2m

Gain 1dB over 1/4 Wave

Details here: 


You can even make it Dual band:

There is even an online calculator:

These work rather well and are very easy to build. 25mm plastic conduit works a treat for the choke coil. I made a dual band version with the sleeve ( I used aluminium foil) it worked great with 1/1.4 swr on both bands.
