I'm going to try and make an antenna as shown in Kitplanes MAR 2006
("Rubber Duckie, Your'e the One..).
Does it matter if the copper foil is 1/4 or 1/2 inch wide?
Does the balun have to be right in the middle (if I want to put in
a PVC tube it wouldn't fit with a balun in the middle) or can it be at
the bottom of the dowel with longer leads?
Anybody make one of these successfully?

Thanks!

Brad
