[FARC] Free Antenna

[Joseph M. Durnal]

I have a Cushcraft ARX2B vertical antenna, AKA Ringo Ranger II, that
has been in my parent's shed for the last 10 years.  I bought it
because it was a great fixed station antenna when I lived at home, but
it is a little big and visible for use in the town house, and it isn't
very portable.  It is a two meter only antenna, requires mounting on a
1 1/4 inch mast, I think it has to be about 4 feet of mast above any
mounting hardware to allow clearance for the radials.  I think it can
be used without the radials if desired.  The whole thing is about 15
feet high when fully assembled, that's only 3 feet shorter than my HF
vertical!

I'll be glad to pass the antenna along at the next FARC meeting.
