Home made scanner antenna

Post by AMX97 »

I'm after some advice I got a few bits and peices left from helping sort the TV aerial in a caravan BNC connector and some coax and so on...I am looking at getting some 10m ladder line anttena from ebay do you need to have certain lengths for certain bands or doesn't it matter... I only ever got the commercial ones and want to try make my own now to see what I can do.

Thanks
