Is your coax TV/video coax? If so, be careful with that because the impedance is likely 75ohm and your HT very likely expects 50ohm. How big of a problem that is is up to you to research/decide.
If you don’t have appropriate coax some things you could try:
-
Adding a tiger tail to the existing antenna (assuming you could reassemble it)
-
getting higher up
-
If you can’t reassemble the OG antenna, use the connector and solder the dipole radiators to it directly


Abstract: Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled trials, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.
