Antenna Builds

All,

?

Here are three choices of simple antenna builds.? We can build one or all three or if you have another antenna you would like to build, we can add it to the list.? I would like to be able to use the club's workshop on Saturday January 4th to do the build. This will allow us a month to pick which build you would like to complete and acquire the necessary parts.? Please let me know which one you would like.?

Do you need to test your 2 meter radio??

Re: Checking

#20

Appreciate the advice, I’ll do that. I was just using an old telescopic flagpole I had laying around but if someone has a good suggestion in their, I’m sure it would be a better route going forward.

Re: Checking

#19

You might want to ask the group WARC if they have any good ideas or suggestions to stay away from. It can’t hurt.?

No, my telescopic mast didn’t lock right and collapsed in on itself before the meeting yesterday. I noticed it this morning. Pretty confident that was the problem.
