Guys dont even attempt to confuse me with the usual techobabble you guys use as language.

I am looking to buy a CB aerial made from wire than I can pin up in my loft (not outside) It needs to be tuned to operate in the 27 FM UK / 27 CEPT Bands with the lowest SWR on Ch 20 27.79125 Mhz.

I want it to run through my loft I have a total roof length to play with of 5.7 meters in which to string it up.

The aerial connector to the rig needs to be supplied with something called a PL259 connector and the connecting wire needs to be 5 meters long at least.

Quotes to make one or point me to the right shop please ?

NR, Unless you're into SSB DX, a horizontal dipole is not going to suit you for local FM contact as the majority of users local to you will be using vertical antennas.If you want a dipole I'd be inclined to buy the bits and make it yourself! THEY ARE EASY! They are cheap, save your money for something else.

If you really cannot mount anything outside, you will be restricted by the height of your loft for a vertical of some type.

Hope this helps.

Couldn't agree more LS but NR doesnt seem comfortable to make his own , the ubiquitous DV27 on a baking tray would probably siffice but I think he tried that ages ago just before he gave his equipment away to some disabled fella ... remember?

OK that's it! I'm QRT! Big Grin

That selfish twat turned the offer of a free CB down, didnt want to lash out for a PSU !!!, So I've still got it, but its about as useless as a chocolate fire guard. £120 wasted.
