[Icom] Coat hangers - DX'ers and grumps please delete

[Roy Sakabu]

 Those things are even good for uncommon antennas like 220 MHz.  220
antennas are hard to find.  I made one by trimming to length a piece of
copper wire mounted in a 2 meter mag mount base.  I then cut a coat hanger
to the same length.  It holds up better at highway speed than pure copper
wire.

None needed.
