Well, I finally took the time to work on the "TV Antenna Feed Line" J-Pole
someone suggested. I got it down to less than 1.6 SWR, on 2 meter, and less
than 1.2 on 70 cm, by trimming it down 1/8 inch at a time. So now I have a
VERY portable dual band antenna, I can just roll up and stick in a small
"go bag". I tried it on my Yaesu VX-6R and was able to hit several local
repeaters, some, of them even on low power.

A little trick I learned in AZ - It will work better
on 440 if you slant it toward the repeater.
