Default Re: Improvising with Household Items.

When I was working at Plesseys in the early 1970's, they made a robust stubby antenna for one of their prototype hand-held military radios from two lengths of steel tape measure, cut to length and laid face to face, rivetted together at the ends, and covered with a rubber boot. Not sure what they used for production as I wasn't involved in that project.
