Default 2m/440 antenna Q's

...
Probably the gutter is made of aluminum if put up in recent years so that
won't work. Put a dual band mobile on a 6"X6" sheet of thin steel and make
four radials about 16" and bend them down at a 45 degree angle from the
corners of the plate. Mount them to the steel plate with small bolts and
nuts. Put the whole thing in the corner of your room. Unless you are in
metal building the antenna will work about as well as it would outside...
and yes it will be light years ahead of a duck.

Thanks for the info... the portability of the design (and the design Dot
posted) look great... I will probably try one of those and maybe something
like this in addition -- http://www2.arrl.org/tis/info/pdf/0302038.pdf

What do you guys think of that one?
