[Heathkit] Antenna book query

[Larry WA9VRH]

Hi Ken,

Two ideas!  First a multiband vertical like a Hustler 5BTV or that sorts. 
Next check out Alpha-Deltas
slopers and see if any of those might fit. Other choice is a screwdriver 
antenna and one of the manufacturers
had a ready made base a few years ago.

OK this Idea came from Don Johnson W6AAQ's (sk) book. Person lived in a 
restricted area so he bought two old cars
and mounted one of Don's screwdrivers to each of them and built a phasing 
harness. The neighbors were incensed however
He kept the cars licensed and there was nothing the neighbors could do 
because he demonstrated to the folks that both cars could be driven...

I love that one!
