Why is everyone knocking the term "homebuilt dipole"?
Try building a dipole that will withstand years and years of rain,
ice, snow and hurricane force wind and see just how hard it is. A
dipole is more than pieces of wire. It includes the center insulator,
balun, coax and the interconnections between all the above.
Certainly it's not rocket science, but it's also not something to be
slapped together in a few minutes if you want it to last.
Been there, done that.
