WELCOME TO THE

DIPOLE ANTENNA PAGE

In December 2004 (about a week before I took my test) I decided to build a 2 meter dipole. I had been pricing various commercially produced 2 meter antennas and thought I could make my own for about a quarter the price, plus I would have something 'homebrewed'. It doesn't have much of a mast to it, but with it being on top of an old two story house, it puts it up about 30 feet.

The first two pictures are of my 2nd son holding the antenna up for me
(he helped me mount it on the roof).
The last two pictures are after getting it mounted
(just look at the nice high roof my neighbor has).
