Well you see gentlemen, after spending a day up on the roof, it appears I
typed without proof reading.
You would all be correct, how would you cut a 220mhz antenna to work on
144mhz????? Good question!
So let me stand corrected and say, it can be cut for
440mhz.......................... NOT 144mhz.
Thanks for noticing my mistake............

Typos do slip in. You could split the element about halfway and fold it out
the other way to make the elements longer.

Ahhh, but using loading coils enables one to access multi bands with
one vertical element.

Wire strecher maybe, cutter - don't think so!
