My Best Homemade CB Antenna Ever!!

Building a basic 2 element Yagi beam CB radio base antenna.

[@lukebray2192]

With each element being 102.25 with a 2 inch spacer, wouldnt that be a total of 206.5 instead of 204.5? Not trying to be nitpicky but I am going to try to build one. Thanks

[@MowerJunkie]

Yup, lol. I noticed my mistake after I published the video. Yes the total length with spacer is 206.5" Thanks for watching, Good luck with Your build.

Nice antenna mj. I've heard you on ssb, but can't talk out on my radio. It is apparently off freq!? I guess ill have to have someone .ook at it! 73s from the cactus patch!!

[@seeharvester]

@@rgnichols567 Get yourself a new ham radio and never look back. Most can be easily modified to transmit on all frequencies by removing a diode or something similar. I bought an Icom 706mk2g new years ago and will never buy another cb. The problem with the cbs is when they break, you can't find anyone to fix them. I've got a nice Galaxy Pluto right now in need of repair and can't find anyone I trust to do a good job.

I just got into gmrs radios and I have begun building antennas. Very fun hobby. Working towards my amateur license soon. I just constructed a copper yagi gmrs vhf. Andnit works good I need parts to get my gamma match solid but the antenna works well and has a lot of gain

[@thechristianbiker812]

What kinda range do GMRS get?

[@keithtreisch6890]

@thechristianbiker812 in my experience it's a lot based on your local topography. I can get a pretty steady 35 miles to a repeater in my area. days good propagation days I can get around 40 miles. Reaching a repeater that is. Simplex radio to radio I can average around 15 miles max in my area. Def varies based on terrain. I'm in north east Ohio.

[@thechristianbiker812]

@keithtreisch6890 that's alot better than i expected

[@keithtreisch6890]

@thechristianbiker812 of course it all depends on location. Radio and antenna. A base antenna around 25 to 30 ft does well in a lot of areas with a good antenna or one atkeast tuned for gmrs. Sometimes the 70cm dial band antennas are not quite good enough swr wise and tuning to do good for gmrs freq. I love building and doing. I am a ham operator now and I built my own gmrs repeater here in my hometown so it's been fun and i love the hobby. Gmrs is what got me into radio and i will def. Be continuing it for the matter of family comms. Imo a good quality radio meaning a better name brand thay baofeng will do you wonders. The cheap radios can get u started but. A yaesu or a icom handheld is def worth the money for range and reliability. I have 3 baofengs that no longer work. So sometimes the money pays

[@dalebarnes2737]

What I use for element insulation is Stauff Hydraulic pipe mountings on top of aluminium flat bar or plate. It's much more robust. To terminate your coax to the driven element; drill a small hole through the element each side and use a stainless metal thread and nuts and connect the cable with electrical terminals. Use a 1:1 current balun / choke in the coax.

What would happen if the elements were vertical ?

[@TotoFrancey]

The reason you got ice on that antenna is because you went and talked to a guy all the way up in Quebec, Canada. If you had talked to people a little further south that ice on the antenna never would have happened. In Canada they have ice on their antennas all the time.

[@danrusso9055]

Great job!

[@imken2392]

So, I would guess by mounting the reflector directly to the boom, element spacing and element length may need to be more radically adjusted where as insulated from the boom, the dipole formula and 5% longer reflector may get you closer from the get go???

[@SoonDumpingAllGmailAccounts]

I like it, really clean construction. I've always had the best luck with .2 wavelength and yours is real close, 86.5" being ideal from what I've seen, but at .225 you may have a bit more gain and a slightly less F-B but I'd take it! You might check out an Omega match - it's much better than a Gamma and is a balanced match! I hope I get to DX with you soon, who do I listen for on 38Lsb? - World Radio # ?
