Materials used :  

● BNTECHGO 18AWG silicone rubber stranded thinned copper  wire  

● Wooden dowel and base 

● Screw to connect base  

● Superbat RF RG174 Coaxial Black cable 50ohm 

● Red and black electrical tape 

●Wire cutter

● Solder

● Soldering iron 

Method :  

● Cut two pieces of the 18AWG wire to be 8.1 inches long each ( This is my dipole arms) 

● Splice both ends of the 18AWG wire  

● Splice the black coaxial cable to show ground wire and then splice the inner conductor insulation to 

show active wire 

● Intertwined the active wire of the coaxial cable  with one end of the dipole arm and then solder it 

● Intertwine the ground wire of the coaxial cable with end of the other dipole arm and then solder it 

● Wrapped electrical tape over the exposed wire 

● The end of the expose dipole arm wire will also be wrapped with electrical tape 

● Tape the antenna onto a wooden dowel (Will use another dowel in a horizontal position to hold the 

dipole arm horizontally so it does not drop down)
