Hi Michael, Just want to spread some encouragement and show you what my first antenna looked like. Found how to make it on YouTube (2m Backpacking Yagi) So far I've hit a repeater 40 miles away sitting in my house with my 5 watt handheld with a signal strength S6. Not to shabby with an antenna made from music wire and an arrow shaft. Here's a good website with a lot of info. HAM RADIO - AMATEUR RADIO - HAM RADIO INFORMATION, LICENSE INFO!, PLANS - PROJECTS
Good Luck

Doesn't seem I'm doing the inserting photos right. Working on it!

Very enlightning thread. That's my word for the day by the way "enlighten".

I love dipoles. They are almost as free as air and work almost as well as a yagi in the right conditions and you can put em up just about anywhere.

Long live the dipole!!
