Check out this portable vertical. Looks great for the beach, camping, etc

I have not built one yet, but I am planning on it this weekend.

I use a K1, Norcal 40A, or DSW II on 20m when I hit the outdoors.

This antenna covers 10 - 160 if you follow the intsructions. I'm making
mine for 15-40

Dave,
Thanks so much. One question, do I use a 25' section of pvc to keep it
upright? Also, should I trim the vertical or the horizontals for swr?

Thanks
Greg

go to rat shack and buy a couple 25' rolls of hookup wire, put one
vertical
and the others horizontal. hook the vertical one to the center of the
coax
and the horizontal ones to the shield.... voila, instant vertical...
trim
to
make rig happier as needed.

Is there such an animal? I am going to use this rig totally portable
(beach, backyard, woods, open field) and would like to make or
purchase
a
tuned vertical for thirty. I will be using it with an oak hills
portable
cw rig. What do you think?
