Here is an Antenna that i made in my free time and thought that this would be useful to some readers as i found no such instructables given. This antenna that I've made is cable of receiving frequency ranging between 107Mhz to 146Mhz. Its quite easy to increase the range by increasing the length of the areal or decreasing it.
I actually made this antenna to receive aircraft band or air-band. The frequency they use is from 108Mhz to 146Mhz. Thus this antenna will work as a charm if used for the purpose above or one can always use it for different frequency like amateur radio and will work just fine.
