DIY Flexible Antenna Build (AKA Signal Stick)

How to build your very own flexible antenna!! This can be a fun project to do if you plan on needing several of them. If you used Ham Study to get your license and want to give back I would absolutely suggest purchasing one from them instead of doing a build. But if you enjoy DIY like I do, enjoy the build!

While my goal is to provide educational content because I enjoy creating it, I decided to use these links as they offer a small benefit to me versus just linking to the product page. They do not affect you in any way, shape or form. In fact, I would encourage you to try and hunt for better prices on eBay or elsewhere to save you money. I hope you understand my thought process here.
