<p>A liquid antenna comprises solid 120 and polar liquid 124 radiators housed in a body 110 with a mechanical and electrical connector 130 to a feed cable 150. The feed cable 150 provides an inner core conductor 152 which connects to a solid radiator 120 via abutting contact members 154, 122 and an outer conductor 158 which is connected to a liquid radiator 124. The connector 130 also includes liquid leakage prevention means 170 located between the antenna body 110 and the feeding cable 150. The connector 130 may comprise a conductive body 132 which connects to the outer conductor 158 of the feed cable 150 and has an integral ground pillar 140 extending into the antenna body 110 to contact the polar liquid radiator 124. The connector 130 and feed cable 150 may have corresponding female and male threads for engaging with one another. A solder joint may be formed between the body of the connector and the outer conductor of the feed cable. The feed cable may have insulating material 156 between the inner and outer conductive members 152, 158. The connector 130 is securely attached to the antenna body 110 by inserting a pin 146 into a pin hole 136 and a pin groove 114. The antenna may provide a compact antenna which is adjustable to operate in a broadband and/or low frequency band with a uniform gain.</p>
