Subj : Looking into HAMing... To : Angus McLeod From : Frank Date : Sat Aug 20 2005 10:16 pm Re: Looking into HAMing... By: Angus McLeod to Frank on Sat Aug 20 2005 10:28 am I printed your post and will check out your picture on anjo. Another problem with building like I do is attatching a SO-239 to the pipe and keeping it weather proof. I have actually gotten so lazy with the design I just trim the feedline back, solder the center lead to one side of the J and the shield to the other and lay the coax seal to it. I'm goind to build one of the PVC antennas and give it a try. --- þ Synchronet þ The Dark Castle BBS - thedarkcastle.net - Elkhorn City,KY SysOp: Frank .
