Hi, I'm sorry I no longer have the plans, however, the long leg is 19.25 inch from curve to tip. The short leg is 6.25 inch. The space between the 2 legs is about 1.5 inches. Rods can be made from aluminium, stainless or wire coat hangers. Adjust for swr as shown in video. Regards Paul
If you construct it for 2 M operation that will also work on the UK UHF 70 cm band as 2 x 3/4 waves. Also a very important point is the 1/2 wave dipole coaxial cable connection must have the centre core as the top vertical rod and the braid connected to the bottom rod. Great design and video report, 73's
Technician just beginning here. Thanks for this design. Since my HOA frowns upon almost everything, I'm considering your design not for field work, but just to avoid confrontation with them. 73 de HJ4JPG.
Thank you for the video Paul! I really like your design, and the one I make for field use will be very similar. I see all the comments requesting "plans" and have to smile a little. Where have all the craftsmen with thinking/researching ability gone these days? 73 Rob
I was thinking the same thing.. Its pretty obvious how its built simply from the video, he explains everything about the antenna. The video should be used for an idea of what to build, but people shouldn't need instructions that say drill two holes in a T joint; if they do then DIY might not be a good idea.
Pure genius. I'm thinking a single band 2 meter antenna would fit completely in the pvc pipe and work better for me. Putting a pvc tee close to the end nearest the antenna would provide a place to attach the mast without putting as much stress on the pvc pipe because of the weight of the antenna. Nice design... Bravo.
Agreed. The music is not a good addition. Your video is great otherwise. I passed my foundation exam a week ago and in interested in making antenna so great video. Keep posting and teaching people about this interesting hobby which unfortunately is loosing hobbyists. Lets all try and keep it alive for everyone to enjoy for years to come Thanks again 👍
Hi Paul. Almost finished my portable aerial. Different design to yours as used material laying around in garage. Scrap stuff. 4 Part video. Cheers from old George.
This is a brilliant bit of do it yourself. I have been looking for a good portable dipole for my emergency kit, and this is it! I would very much appreciate it if you were to help me locate the plans. Thanks in advance!
I'd have gone for Jacques Loussier's jazzy Air on the G String, though it may have caused an outbreak of cigar smoking, or made the viewer think the antenna wouldn't work, or something.
Looks like a great design I will be making one soon. You could modify the pvc length from the pole and add a reflector element that's 5% longer then the long element and velcro it to the and it would about double the gain making it a 2 element yagi that's directional in a broad way and will help your 70 cm also. I make one similar for 70 cm that's portable from 3/4 square tube works greaty
Hi Paul , really good antenna and ideal for taking away in my caravan. Please could you send me the Dimensions and plan it would be most appreciated. Many thanks Darren
Thank you so much sir,,, it s a great presentation,,, i love d idea that it can used in a quick installation and almost anywhere,,, and m planning to build 1, however in my case, would it b better if 2 or more stacked dipole b phased together?
As a fairly new M6 I am drawn to QRP field work and this would be a lovely little antenna to add to the backpack. I would appreciate the plans if they are still available. Many Thanks M6KVK
I'm going to build one of these. However, of all the DIY videos I have watched nobody talks about the minimum and/or maximum distance the curved sides of the rods can be from one another. This is baffling! If you place the two mounting points for the rods too close together isn't it possible you won't be able to adjust the SWR? The two ends will simply collide with each other. So how far apart should the mounting holes be from one another? Thank you! K9JPT
A nifty design, but no balun? As I understand, you might well have great swr, but radiating signal down the coax, putting less out if the antenna. New amateur here so constructive criticism welcome.
Simplicity is the genius of this design! excuse my ignorance (I'm a new ham) but how does it work on 2 bands? do you have to disconnect something to go from 2m to 70 cm? or will the swr adjustment cover this?
A great idea Paul. I would really like to get the plans to build one. I have a group of emergency communications people that would like to build them too. K6PLS, USA
i am not a ham but very interested but one thing i thought i read is that you would need a ballun when building a dipole fed by coax as it is unbalanced?

Love the portability and ease of set up. Nice job.
Love the simple design and easy execution of use, as a new ham please forward the design, I am interested to build one. Thank You
Me too! I've never thought about fan dipole for 2m/70cm even if I've done fan dipoles for HF bands. A very nice idea.
If you construct it for 2 M operation that will also work on the UK UHF 70 cm band as 2 x 3/4 waves. Also a very important point is the 1/2 wave dipole coaxial cable connection must have the centre core as the top vertical rod and the braid connected to the bottom rod. Great design and video report, 73's
What sort of impedance should be in the coax cable? does there need to be a transformer?

Yep, they had to pass a test to get a licence, yet can’t follow simple build instructions …… no hope for mankind !

Brilliant design, really simple to make, thanks for sharing!
Great presentation ..... Please Please kill the “music” it really detracts from your video
First time hearing that composition with screaming.
Agreed. The music is not a good addition. Your video is great otherwise.

Nicely done and thanks for taking the time to make and share this video. I'm among those who'd also like plans for this build.
interesting antenna design and warm looking sweater
This is a brilliant bit of do it yourself. I have been looking for a good portable dipole for my emergency kit, and this is it! I would very much appreciate it if you were to help me locate the plans. Thanks in advance!
Great to meet you Paul, and to think you are just around the corner. I liked this some time ago it appears. All the best.
Hello from the states. What a great design! I would very much appreciate a copy of your plans too if possible. Thanks for your time!
Nice video! Yes, I'd like the plans for this. Simple, but looks like its very effective.
I'd have gone for Jacques Loussier's jazzy Air on the G String, though it may have caused an outbreak of cigar smoking, or made the viewer think the antenna wouldn't work, or something.
Good diy project however, I wonder if the music made the video any better?
it did. :)
Excellent build! Very clever way to keep the elements from getting bent by putting them on the pvc pipe. I will have to give this one a try.

Great video. Almost finished mine. But its not compact as I shall not be far from campervan when its used. Cheers from old George
Best Regard from Indonesia,.....Brilliant design, really simple to make, thanks for sharing..... Alhamdulillah...!

I like it Paul, very simple and seems easy to make.
Thank you Paul... Cheers
That's a nifty antenna design that works well.
Nice design antenna Paul and a great video, thank you!
oh wow this antenna is absolutely brilliant I wish you would do a more hands on build of this id like to build one cheers from Canada 73s
Very clever, and so simple!
Hi Paul, this an ingenious antenna, I would love to build one from your design.
Hi Paul , really good antenna and ideal for taking away in my caravan. Please could you send me the Dimensions and plan it would be most appreciated. Many thanks Darren
Great build! Any chance of getting the plans for this antenna? I'm a new ham here in the U.S. and would like to give this one a try.
No Answer = He's Selling it!
Check this guy out. Same antenna. th-cam.com/video/_o_W7iksnzo/w-d-xo.html

Great channel!
You just got yourself a new subscriber 🤖
Thank you!
amazing , simple , easy to work and reasult is good
I would love to have the schematics to this design.
Ideal music for a FUNERAL. Great video
So true. It's a little strange ! 73
Very clever folding opinion. Cheers!👍🍻
I like this portable, easy and cheap annt. I'll made one, sure. Best regards from Spain, 73. EA9GK.
I would love to build one just like this can I please have the plans thanks
Hi Paul I'm just starting out and I'm surprised how simple this build is. Would it be possible to get the build plans and dimensions please ?
Paul, great work!
Well done very interesting Best Regards Tim
Smart and easy construction and obviously effective! Great job and thanks for sharing! How does this dipole perform against a Nagoya NA771 or similar?
would love to have the plans to make that it is so cool paul
Paul, I believe we have talked on 10 meter before. Sounds just like you
Hello, very good idea and very cheap antenna, would you please give us the plan to do the same? thank you for sharing, congratulations from FRANCE
Nicely done! I too would like the schematics for this antenna. Please.
Clever design, I like it. Nice work.
Excellent design thanks for sharing. Will be building this . KD2MPI in the US
Thank you so much sir,,, it s a great presentation,,, i love d idea that it can used in a quick installation and almost anywhere,,, and m planning to build 1, however in my case, would it b better if 2 or more stacked dipole b phased together?
Awesome!
Great design Paul, is it possible to send plans and wire lengths.?
Thanks John
Fantastic
Excellente réalisation. J'aimerais bien fabriquer la même.
Simple is brilliant
Great video Paul, but the music makes me want to go QRT forever.
Hi Paul. Loved the video. If you don't mind, I would like the plans for building this antenna. Let me know the best way to get that. Thanks.
Simply clever design✌
Thank You :)
Excellent video thank you
Hi Paul, brilliant make!
Would be glad if you could give me a url for the plans...
Thanks in advance.

Sir, I too would like to obtain a copy of the plans if possible. This is one of the more clever "home brews" I've come across. Thanks, Dave
good design sir.
Thank you
dat heb je heel goed gedaan baasie
As a fairly new M6 I am drawn to QRP field work and this would be a lovely little antenna to add to the backpack. I would appreciate the plans if they are still available. Many Thanks M6KVK
Hi Paul looks like a great project! If you have the plans can you please send them to me. Harbert1@hotmail.com
I would love the plans to this antenna. Thanks Pat .... KD2PER .... 73

love this project but I don't think the screaming kids over the fence do! We will have to crowdfund a lapel mic for you. cheers de VK4FKES
Terrific effort mate. Could I get the plans please.
Absolutely genius
thank you
Great looking project Paul, could you please send me the plans.
A nifty design, but no balun? As I understand, you might well have great swr, but radiating signal down the coax, putting less out if the antenna. New amateur here so constructive criticism welcome.
I have built this antenna. Excellent performance on 2 meters, however its terrible on UHF.
You need to cut the elements to the right length
Very nice. May I have the detailed build plans, please?
Please can you share the plan of the antenna?
great! owe you to have the plan so i make one. thanks!
Superbe, merci !
Is it possible to have the plan?
Awesome good sir.love our cousins across the pond.lol.just what the ole doctor ordered
Simplicity is the genius of this design! excuse my ignorance (I'm a new ham) but how does it work on 2 bands? do you have to disconnect something to go from 2m to 70 cm? or will the swr adjustment cover this?
Federer935 the signal automatically fonds the most resonant of the two.
A great idea Paul. I would really like to get the plans to build one. I have a group of emergency communications people that would like to build them too. K6PLS, USA
Please send plans to ke6pls2@gmail.com. Thanks, 73
hi Paul did you do a build and material video as I want to build one myself
Hi Paul , great antenna design. Please could you send me the Dimensions and plan also it would be most appreciated. Many thanks Dave.H
I second that last comment. Very informative video. How can I get the plans also?
Will you send me rhe plans for this antenna? this will be a great addition to my hiking and bushcraft equipment.
fab antenna could i have the plans please just starting my foundation and would love to build one
Well done, may I have a copy of the plans please?
Regards
Rob
Some dimensions would be great. If you could include them with your video or post them. Thanks Al

So far he's not giving it out.... As far as I can see It's about 7.5" (19.05mm) and 24.5" (62.23mm) - Total Extension would be 27.5" (700mm)
am impressed thanks for sharing
Hello over there, this video was sent to me recently, I'm starting on this. Iwould appreciate if you can send me the plans please
Paul, I would like the plans for this radio as well
I'm going to knock one up, cheers.
why not pass the coax inside the T- so that you can also pass it inside the pipe itself. Im sure the connector can pass thru
Great video Paul !! Would like the plans for the antenna or link for info on antenna. Cheers 73 de KD4FZY
I would like to get a set of plans and any thing I might need?
i would love to make one of these Would you share the building plans and parts List?
would love the plan for thie. Thanks
