DIAMOND F-23 VHF 144MHZ VERTICAL ANTENNA 2W0DAA HOME BREW BASE MODIFICATION

 

 

This is a shot of my home brew modification using two strong jubilee clips to secure the

Antenna base stub to the support pipe

 

Due to high winds etc the base tends to work loose with the small 10mm securing bolt usually

Falls out! So having made two hack saw cuts about an 1"1/2 down from the top i Secured

The antenna using the clips, This antenna has since survived the recent hurricane winds

of 110mph! Storm force 12 in North Wales

 

In addition the amalgamating tape stops water ingress at the base
