Pancake Antenna

[bgolpmp]

I am looking to make a pancake antenna. I think that if I installl it on my roof, it is not very noticeable. Can anyone give me any dimensions on them for say 20 meters??? I have been looking all over and can only find them commercially built. How long is the center rod? What about the other rods? What is the wire spacing?????

Thanks

I like your WebPage Andy. Until someone pipes in with an answer - their is another interesting thread (with pictures) running a 10-80 meter Pancake on: My old school Station & Pancake Antenna

HMMMMM They don't make it sound very good, I think maybe I will just stick with my long wire antenna

Thanks

T think you're talking about a "Tak-Tenna". If you 'google' that, you should find information on how to make them.
