This is a very simple, yet effective 2m antenna made entirely of RG-58 coax. Having researched similar designs I was presented with many options in terms of what lengths to cut and how to make an effective coil, which is needed as part of this design. I set about making and testing my own and came up with the exact dimensions for a 2m FM vertical antenna, and associated coil.
Thanks to Lenny for helping with on-air tests.
