Smoggy Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I pulled apart my 8' vhf antenna today to see if I can repair it after using it to find a tree (I found one and it won!). I was surprised to see the coax inner stops 6" above the coax end and does no more, the outer of the coax becomes the main element with a small coil then carrying on halfway up to another coil before going all the way to the tip, I would have expected it to be the other way round. I this a normal thing? It has always performed fine both at transmitting and receiving (and finding trees.) so no complaints just confused, I have heard southwold harbour from reedham and regularly hear boats calling somerleyton bridge from southwold so I say it works pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
