One of the best ways to improve the range of your HT is to use this simple 2 meter dipole antenna used by Chuck (KK6USY).
The key to this simple antenna is a simple BNC binding post with a center dipole connector.
Chuck takes us through the entire process. You don't need sophisticated tools to complete this project. Once the antenna is made, you can add it to your emergency "go-kit" or SOTA/POTA back pack.
