I Built A Metal Dipole...

[T-I-N-Y34]

I built it out of A PVC conduit T, an os239, and some 1/2" metal conduit...And mounted it horizontally. My radio came alive. I was talking skip like a madman. And my local almost doubled the range. I still need to ground my radio chassis to the rod outside to cut down on some noise. I built a switch to work with my two radios and one antenna and it's not working out so well...My SWRS are kind of hi when going through the switch. So I just ordered a switch to see if a manufactured one brings them down. I hope so.
