Abstract: A transmitting and receiving antenna, e.g. a mobile C.B. antenna, has a whip radiator connected to a loading coil, both of which are supported above a ground plane by a mounting structure. The loading coil is made from a simple helical spring partially compressed and retained between conductive end pieces located at the ends of a cylindrical dielectric tube. A savings in labor is achieved because no solder or like connections are needed in constructing the loading coil.
