heres 2 pics of my homey made quarter wave 12 gauge wire ground plane
thats the whole antenna , and yes its leaning , LOL . but its working , not at its full potiental im sure . it wasnt leaning initally so its a $3 lesson .
i think using the PVC X to spread out the ground plane wires and angle them down worked pretty good .
i call it ............. THE BOOTY-PLANE ......... LOL
this is a view from below .
there is a coax choke at the feed point about 26-27 ft from the ground . i put this up a few months ago and i forgot to put a choke below the ground radials too . yes thats a dual 239 in the coax line , the coax section going to the antennas feedpoint and used for the coil is from a section of coax that had used lugs on the end from the mobiles mount .
im gonna use the ground radials and X on the 2000 when i get it but do some changes to the mast to support a larger and heavier antenna setup . it will still be isolated from the mast and ground just like this one is .
