GMRS DYI Dipole Antenna

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.
