Portable fishing rod antenna

摘要

In the June 2010 Last Word there was a letter requesting more articles on antenna construction. Spurred on by this, I decided to submit details of my portable fishing rod antenna.

It is very easy to construct and the results are remarkably good for an antenna that can be deployed in the space of a few minutes.rnDescription. The basic design of the antenna is nothing special-just a long wire - but the clever bit is how to keep it up in the air. Driving around the countryside one day I couldn't help noticing lots of big, tall wooden things dotted around.
