Here is a nice Scanner Antenna you could build for best reception in your area.

This antenna took me about 6 hours to build with stuff I had around the shop,
just got a scanner on ebay hope you enjoy these pics and please build your one for your self and feel free to use the one I made as a reference.. 73 s

just stick it on pole and listen away. the 5 antennae are 23.5 inches x 1/8 round long for my area. Don't try to sodier them to anything make a loop
and bolt them on. any questions just e-male me.


Thanks to Matt of ScanACT in Australia for publishing the original design..

i applaud your efforts at making something in the spirtit of the amateur radio enthusiast.

i was thinking that for the round center with the notches all around it, an old circular saw blade could be used!!!
