[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1046034, member: 369937"] I made a turnstile antenna but do not have the proper connection to terminate it properly, so I just soldered the coax directly to the radials, it didnt work out as good as the cats whisker. I'm using some stainless steel welding rod to make up the other antennas,(cats whisker) I had some left over from a different project. It's the best to use as it will not corrode in the weather. If you have an old TV antenna lying around you could use the radials from it if they are 55 CM or longer. And the modified Discone did not work out that good, the cats wisker so far is the best one tested, still working on other types. [/QUOTE]
