No, this is not the way to build a dipole antenna!
A dipole is a balanced antenna with both elements of equal length. For the 11 meter band that would be around 105" for each leg, allowing some extra for tuning.
Insulated wire will come in a little bit shorter that the calculated length due to the velocity factor of the insulation. And, placing the wire inside of a PVC pipe (radome) will shorten it a little bit more, again due to the velocity factor of the PVC material.
If you are thinking that this is the radiating element of a 2 or 3 element beam then it is called the driven element.
If you are thinking of a flat-side single dipole on a rotator then it is called a "Bi-Directional, Rotatable Dipole".
It is not a "Single Beam" antenna! Sorry, but it just isn't.

Good deal

Use stainless machine screws 😊

Awesome video bro looking to see more in the future to!!

Looks like your making a Quarter Wave Dipole which should be 9ft each side give or take an inch when tuning
Do Not put glue in the Centre Pin unless its Soldered First

I made a 1/4 wave ground , with a 102 " whip on a morrow mount and 2 pieces of 102" of copper wire from each side of the of mast pipe had a 1.5 SWR match. it was only 10' off the ground talk about 40 miles .how much power will a stainless steel whip take that how much you can run through it Thanks

Thanks 😊

CO phase two together!

Co-phasing is what it is called when mounted on a mobile. For a base installation it is referred to as a Phased Array Antenna System and requires specific lengths of coax, usually 75 to 90 Ohm and the antennas are usually ground mounted verticals with an extensive counterpoise system.

Horrible way to make an antenna. I recommend picking up some books or doing a LOT more research on antennas. Especially wavelength lengths, different velocity fa gors of different materials as well as antenna theories.
