I put a link in the description to an auction for the actual auction I
purchased. Also if you enter this in your search “dual band vhf/uhf base
station” it will only show one item which is his antenna. It will have a
picture of one hanging on the eve of a house.
As far as Ground Radials, this antenna doesn’t need them and isn’t designed
for them. If you mean grounding it in case of a a lightning strike you can
put and arrester in line (i will put a link to one in the description). One
very effective and free way to stop lightning is run a 2 foot piece of
grounded wire along the coax and strip off a half inch on insulation is 3
or for places and solder the ground wire to the coax shield. It if gets hit
the lightning will in theory jump the gap…
Very informative Tom! Thanks for posting it!
Great video! I’d like to make a base antenna similar to this for Channel 71
on the marine band – 156.575 MHz. Any pointers?

Hey tom, nice video! I’m having trouble finding that Ebay seller….do you
have any further info?
Nice vid. I will be picking one of these up shortly.
in between the center conductor and the ground before it will travel into
you equipment. I personally haven’t worried about it, but I don’t leave my
antenna connected when I am not using it and I don’t operate when there is
a storm going on. I also have several large trees that are much higher the
lightning would probably choose first.
Hey Tom, I was just wanting to know how would you ground this antenna or if
it is even needed I am going to put the antenna on the side of my house its
going to be my first out door antenna and I am not Shure how or if I should
ground it
