Sorry if I am redundant, this is the fist time on this group, I am using
Central Florida Road Runner and their NG retention is about 48 hours, so I
can't search the old posts.

I bought a RS TRC-458 Navaho base station at a garage sale this weekend
for
ten dollars and I have a twenty foot mast and I would like to build my own
antenna, to save $$$.

The pattern needs to be at least 180 degrees as I live on the coast of
Florida. I plan to run barefoot (till I can buy some power) so I need some
efficiency.

Thanks,
