				 2m antenna home brew?? 
 
			
			Ok
 I just bought at some flea fest an old style Ringo style CB antenna with the
 ring on the bottom for matching tune. Also has the ground planes and bracket
 for them and the aluminum antenna looks about 20 feet long (in sections) and
 about 8 foot ground planes (4 total).
 
 What I would like to do is make a 2m full wave antenna out of it. It looks
 real solid at about 6ft 4inches long with or without its gnd planes. I was
 thinking of using it at this length on a 45 foot tower at the top. I was
 thinking of wrapping the coax about 8 times at the top for RF reasons or
 matching reasons.
 
 Any ideas why i shouldn't or should or any tips?
 
 Thanks
