ScrewDriver Antenna Article in February Antennex issue
 

Hi

I would appreciate a review of the ScrewDriver antenna article in the
February 2006 issue of Antennex.

1. Is it a full construction article?
2. If #1 is true, can the antenna as described be built from easily
obtainable components and buit with a resonable toolset?
3. any other comments you would care to share

Thanks in advance to all for their consideration.

Hi Ed, they ran an article on a Screwdriver 4 or 5 years ago but it was
not a full construction as one would see in QST. Antennex does not
usually give full construction details, they want you to experiment.
That also keeps the cost of the articles down. As I remember the
copper fingers are the most difficult to obtain.

Whether it can be easily built, you may have to do like I am
considering, suscribe.
Good Luck.
