Flower Pot Antenna on a wire

Here is a very handy aerial for permanent and field day installations.

We’ve used VK2ZOI Half-Wave Flower Pot Antenna’s design, however we’ve only used the UPVC conduit for the choke section.  This gives us a 2m aerial on a wire.  It can be raised by pulling from the top, typically with a rope over a high tree branche, or can be mounted on a squid pole, passing the squid pole inside the choke former.

Many thanks to John vk2zoi for sharing this design!
