I have been putting together a variety of parts in an attempt to create my own homemade.
It is almost there. I raised it in the air and managed to get the SWR down to 1:5:1 across the cb 40 channels. It is slightly better in halfway through the band below 26.965, and rises more quickly going up through the band above 27.405. Not as wide banded as I'd hoped, not yet anyway. I started the length at 21' 7", but was forced to bring it down to 20' even because the SWR was too high.
I could use some questions, ideas, feedback to sort through this.
