Hello
I'm starting to build a simple transmit / receive VHF dipole. I came across the construction www.marph.pl/sq3mve/sprzet_anteny.php
Vertical dipole 1/2 ?. I mean the structure itself, will the cable running along the antenna not interfere with the signal while transmitting? The second question that bothers me is a plastic tube in which the antenna would be ultimately mounted. How will it affect the operation of the set and what will be the antenna shortening factor? The antenna is to be at the exact frequency of 149 MHz 5/8 wave mounted on a tower about 11 meters above the ground, about 9 meters of radio cable.
Thank you very much for any additional information.
