Default DIY Scanner Antenna

Greetings All!
I have been toying with the idea of building a discone antenna for
scanning. I have a couple of junk TV antennas and I think I will make
good use of the elements and construct a discone. I have thought about
using the UHF end off of one and put it on a small rotor for
directional use in the UHF bands. Just some fodder for the brain. Have
a great week! Jon in Upstate South Carolina.

You might try googling the discone antenna. Has a 10:1 frequency range.
Haven't built one myself (yet), but will try one of these days.
