Home made vertical
antennas are commonly
made in one of two
ways. A very common
type of construction
builds the radial system
at the base of the
antenna. Flagpole
antennas are normally
built in this way. Coax
line can be run from the SG-211 to the base of the
antenna. The center lead of the coax will feed the
radiating element in the flagpole vertical while the coax
shield will be connected to the RF grounding system.
Another way that a vertical can be fed is to have it fed
with a wire directly from the SG-211 right-most RF hot
terminal to the radiating element.
