I built my own dipole's out of copper tubing and replaced the Archer wingtip
antennas I had previously been using for my VOR, and GS antennas, and my
range is significantly better.

The ground side of the dipole is between the spars, and the other end stretches
out into the tip.

I had wondered myself for a long time how they would work, and tried it one
day and was quite surprised how much better they work.
