Our 2 meter antenna is a home-brew loop. It is constructed of ½” copper water pipe. The pipe pieces were cut to 21” in length. 90 degree elbows were used to connect the 4 sides together and then soldered. The feed point is a Gamma match made from ¼” copper tubing, cut to length, and the capacitor is made from #12 wire. It is insulated using packing tape wrapped around the wire to make a snug fit within the copper tube. It is then bent to meet the SO-239 connector. The SO-239 connector is soldered to a grove filed in the center of the bottom side, and the feed to the Gamma is soldered to the center pin on the connector. How well does it work?
