If you're an EE and have access to the 308 lab I don't see why you couldn't
fashion one with the wire and crap laying around.

Hi,Gang:
Where can I find the _ARRL Handbook for Radio Amateurs_ ?

: What kind of UHF antenna?  The _ARRL Handbook for Radio Amateurs_ has
: a bunch of good designs for UHF antennas, and for VHF antennas that can
: be scaled to UHF.

Another good antenna book is the _ARRL Antenna Design Handbood_ (or something
very close to that title).  It's about an inch and a bit thick and explains
wave theory, a lot of RF stuff and also how to build many many types of
antennas.  I have a copy from '97 ro '98 and have found it quite useful.

Granted, I've had more use for it than the average person, but average people
don't know the book exists.  I did use it to design an antenna for my ATV
rig.  Now I just wish there was more than one ATV rig in the area and I had
the time to build it.

Most public libraries and many university libraries have a copy.  The
CWRU library has several, of various editions.
