I am a under funded newbie ham. I am wanting to set up a base station
at home. Can I make my own rotor cheaply? Maybe using a dc motor or
something? How would I go about doing it? I have a catalog to surplus
center that has many in it.


Please a want ad in the news papers of fringe and deep fringe areas of the
US, such as western and southern Illinois. You should have hundreds offered
for postage !
