Funnily enough, I have just been playing with a pole antenna (courtesy
W0KPH web site) just to prove to myself that its surely not possible to
radiate a decent signal on 20m using an antenna that is:
contained within a tube of 2 inches diameter by 14 inches long,
fed with 4 feet of coax,
and leaning against the inside of my shack window!!!
First call with the barefoot K2 produced an OM3 589/579.....
I am surprised and will try the 40m version later in the week,
Trev G3ZYY K2 #2637
PS, the antenna took around an hour to make with parts from the junk box
and the kitchen;)
>> What multiband or single band antennas are available to be used with the
>> K2, for quick ops?
>>
>> I know about the Walkabout and the MP-1/-2. Are there any other antenna
>> brands cheaper than the MP-1?
>>
>> Send me some links. While I go and surf the enet.. for more info.
