An interesting video from Stan Gibilisco (W1GV) about an excellent, but lesser known VHF/UHF antenna.  The Biconical Antenna derives from the more popular discone antenna used to monitor public service radio bands .  The antenna is broad banded, easy to make, and offers better performance that a vertical antenna.  If you want to experiment with a truly fascinating antenna, try the biconical antenna.  You won't be disappointed.
