How To Build A Cb Antenna?

Cut 4 strands of 12 gauge wire to 102 in. Use one of the wires as the radiating element and three as the elements. Take three foot jumper cable and cut all but about an inch or two to splice to the top element. Using a small clamp, attach the three bottom elements to a barrel connector (PL 258). Now take the wire that was spliced into the jumper and attach it to the top of the Barrel connector. The three bottom elements can be spread by using 1/2 in. PVC pipe cut to abot four feet in length. Create a triangle with the PVC pipe and attach the three bottom elements to. Now attach your feedline to the bottom of the barrel connector. Using nylon rope or other non electrical type cable. Tie the top of the radiating element to a tree or wooden pole as high as possible. You will have an antenna that is good as the old Starduster antenna. Note If you really want yo can cut a 12 foot coax cable leaving a connector on one end and strip the outer braided cable leaving only the center wire and use three 102 in. 12 gauge wires on the bottom.
