Now that's the kind of Hamfeast I like...need a little red-eye gravy.

Ya know I'm a dedicated CBer and would like an honest answer from KA5ROW as to what's the big deal about selling CB equipment at hamfest? Cb Radios are a form of radio communications just as is amatuer radio. Like Wayne says, as long as the ham club or whoever is putting on the deal and...

I think what we're talking about is "COMMON SENSE".

And they say 11 meters is rude :biggrin: Rave on...:thumbdown:

That dude with the PDL II has got to be Chitting us...$600.???:lol:

I guess what I'm wanting to maybe do is to shorten the straight length and make a "J" out of the ends say like 6 ft straight and "J" the remaining 3ft on each end. This would use PVC tubeing with a wire inside. In this configuation it would take up less height if it would work.

How about a folded dipole for 11 meters? Could it be done to reduce overall size? See Link Folded Dipoles for VHF/UHF Yagis
