Here it is and it only cost me $4 and some change, I used 3 coat hangers I had laying around and the SO-239 connector I picked up at radio shack.

Sweet and simple.

It looks like the link for the antenna got condensed, can you re-post it. The idea of an antenna made from 3 coat hangers has me interested to see what it looks like.
W.Lynn:
Wouldn't open for me either, please do repost!
bryanthegoon:
so looking at that site I am guessing this is the link, you just used coat hangers instead of copper wire? is this the right one?
