The dipole is just under 12 inches long. I had an old coax with a connector so I separated the core wire from outer ground. Both parts are 5.5 inches.
I hooked it up to my meter to check the SWR and it was fine. So now I always have a spare antenna I can hang in a tree or off a post.
SWR of 1.54🤓 Anything here and down is considered very usable. 1 to 1 being perfect, anything above 2.0 is not very good and over 3 is bad.
