Several years ago (while I was still working full time) KB9LOW and I fashioned something very similar to this from the lower half of a "SHAKESPEARE BIG STICK" cb antenna and a piece of Aluminum (block, machined round and drilled & tapped for 3/8X24 by 90 degree spacing) , used the "Hustler" resonators with the 75-80 meter out the top of the thing.
Is a bit narrow banded but with a tuner work's quite well, He's still using it on his camper.
It might be interesting to try one with "HAM-STICKS" , may broad-band it a bit.
