Isopole parts
I came by the bottom half of an Isopole 2M antenna. I am missing the
matching network and upper portion of the antenna. I am looking for information on purchasing or fabricating these parts. I have a home made 5/8 antenna that consist of a SS whip mounted on a Lucite rod that also serves as a form for the matching coil. Would this work? I have my doubts as it would considerably longer than the original. Jimmie |

The original upper 5/8 whip was 50 inches, same as the lower 5/8 section, not counting the lower decoupling cone. http://www.repeater-builder.com/aea/aea-index.html |

AEA wasn't joking about wearing gloves and being careful of sharp edges, I got a nasty little cut when I dropped it and tried to catch it. Jimmie |
