70cm Bazooka Dipole
Here is a very simple 70cms dipole from Harald PD2HFE, which uses a single piece of
RG-213 coaxial cable 34 cms in length.
1cm of the braid is trimmed off at the centre of the coax.
Each leg should be 11.5 cms long, with a further 5cms of the coax inner protruding from the end of each leg.
Connect the inner of the coax to outer at each end, keeping the connections as short as possible.

For SWR fine-tuning, you can bend the dipole a bit.
Cut 1 or 2 mm off from both ends for mhz fine-tuning
I am not responsible for any damage to your rig. Use a proper swr meter and start with low power.
Happy building and enjoy the 70cm Bazooka Dipole
