In this clip i show you my antenna built using the flowerpot designs as found online. Build your own 6db gain flower pot antenna from coax that you probably have laying around your house.

Operation on the third harmonic is achieved by using a sleeve technique so as to form quarter wave phasing sections (at the higher frequency) to end feed two. Wed jun 2, 2004 8:38 am subject: I live in apartment and i want to make a small antenna.
