So I have fitted an antenna to a T-72. Can someone tell me if I got it right before I do 30 more just like it? Bonus question how tall should the antenna be?

The Romeo 173 had a choice of two lengths 0.9 or 2.4 metres, depending on freq. I would say 2.4 m for an AFV. Roughly about the same height as the vehicle again…. And for frigs sake don't paint it black – army green same as the rest of the vehicle, with the odd brass chip showing if you are feeling keen…

What he said, but definitely right spot.

I use black bristle from a hair brush. The yare felxible so they do not chip the paint.

I use monofilament fishing line instead of brush bristles, but same idea.
