mick2me 3,033 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I found an aluminium dipole ariel in my garage. I must have bought it in the 80s in my radio listening years Its approx 50" (127 cm) and is not adjustable. Its not TV, what is it general radio? Anyone know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma. 1,533 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 have you got a picture of it? is it a dv27 cb aerial? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 The length depends on the resonant frequency it was used for Mick 492 divided by the frequency in Mhz is the length in feet. (that's for a half wave dipole!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 A half wave horizontally polarized dipole, what's the length of each leg to the centre Mick, looks like an FM broadcast receiving antenna to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
