DIY Folding Antenna For Military Satcom (Made From Trash)

I wanted to copy the Trivec style of portable Satcom antennas used by Western militaries. Usually the commercial version costs $1,500 or more, but I was able to make one from a broken tape measure and some PVC pipe scrap for about $0.

I've done a few Satcom videos in the past:
