Twin-Radial ¼ λ Ground Plane for 70 cm
The driven element of this antenna is a telescopic whip. It is mounted in a tubular aluminium pill box using polythene end-caps as insulators. A BNC flange-type socket is mounted on the bottom end-cap, with its centre pin soldered to the whip.
Two aluminium-strip radials are bolted on to an aluminium base plate, beneath which the driven element assembly is attached. The whip clears the base plate through a central hole.
Mounting screws ensure that the base plate and the BNC flange make contact with the pill box.
SWR at 435MHz is better than 1.5:1.
