How to Make a Dipole FM Transmitter Antenna
Materials
- 1 - 6’ length steel cable. (Romex cable or other stiff copper wire also works)
- 1 - 8’ length 1” PVC pipe
- 1 - PVC 1” T- connector
- 2 - PVC 1” end caps
- 1 - PVC 1” 90-degree corner connector
- 2 - 8” zip ties
- 2 - 1” diameter washers (same diameter as PVC pipe. The hole in the washer must be smaller than the locking end of a zip tie yet large enough for the flat zip tie to fit through.
- Television coax extension cable (with connectors) in the length you’ll need from your transmitter to the antenna.
- Optional: 2-3” of shrink tubing
- Optional: 2 pipe clamps (to fit around the PVC pipe)
- Optional: choke core balun to fit the coax cable
- Optional: PVC cement
