hi all,
here is how you are able to make a 1/4 wave tank whip to a home base antenna,
if you have a steel or a metal gutter on your house or garage what is near your house here is what you will be able to do & what you will need,
as long as your gutter is steel or metal all you will need is one steel gutter mount with a 3/8 adapter to fit your tank whip on to to sit on the gutter mount,
& below is a close up shot of the gutter mount on the gutter below the gutter mount is what we call a balun & can be easily done by just winding the coax round in a circle & tightening the coax up but not essential just make sure you have enough coax to reach from the gutter to your radio.
