/diy/ - Do It Yourself

hey guys i built a 288' dipole, and its about 40-50 feet in the air. im getting absolutely not signal, a paper clip could do better. the antenna is made from solid copper in i have gathered from digging up wells. it is fed with 450ohm ladder line, going to a 4:1 tuner and finally to my radio. any suggestions?

for mine it was the one in the middle of the picture. i think they come with different ones but that one is really small and probably what you need.
