10 Mtr Qrp Antenna?
I have a 10 mtr handheld that requires a telescopic ant
with a bnc connector at the base. I would like this ant to be 4 ft or less. Is there a site which explains how to construct the above? |

Check Radio Shack and similar stores online to see if they have replacement antennas for hand-held CB radios. -- 73 for now Buck N4PGW |

Ahh yes - the knights of the round table had no idea their armor would make
a great counterpoise for a 10-meter whip. "Jim - NN7K" wrote in message t... And, dont forget the Aluminium foil suit , for your counter-poise!

Hmmm, I am pretty certain when they had it horizontally polarized and end fed against another horse mounted knight, that they did indeed appreciate that their armor served to counterpoise the inertia of making a contact. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
