2 Meter VHF Quarter Wave Ground Plane Antenna - Ham Radio Q&A. Post 1993.
If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxft-rYHGDw. Are you looking for an easily assembled, simple, and inexpensive 2 meter ground plane antenna? Then this antenna idea from Michael Martins (KB9VBR) could be your answer. This 1/4 wavelength ground plane antenna is made from a length of PVC pipe, a SO-239 chassis connector, and enough wire to create the vertical radiating element and the above-ground counterpoise system. Make one for your emergency "go-kit" or as a standby antenna for your shack.
