Look up a Jpole antenna

You can build one out of 1/2 inch plumbing supplies.

Make sure you insulate it from whatever kind of pole you use.

Short piece of 1/2" ID tubing should suffice.

I run a packet radio BBS on the internet at www.vy2xu.com.

Let me know your call when you get your licence and I will give you access via the terminal on my web site.

4000 some odd message from local and international BBSes.

If you have any questions on setting  up your packet TNC, let me know. Been at it 20+ years.
