Hi. I wonder if anyone has built a straight wire uhf mobile antenna and checked the swr. I can work up a theoretical length but I know that can be out once the antenna is used. I have an old antenna of unknown properties that will fit the base and I can cut this back to size. Reason being I want a cheap spare for use around town and in case the good one snaps off (as happens with a little assistance from persons unkown) when I am on the road. I will run with the theoretical length if I have to and trust the final transistor/s dont cook but I prefer to listen to experiance if I can.

I am looking for close to one metre or less.

Thanks

Owen
