[500kc] [Lowfer] Re: AMRAD Probe antenna part needed

[riese-k3djc at juno.com]

you have to forgive Dick as he is just getting over walking P Numonia
I believe he did build the Mini but tested it inside and found it wanting
I suggested he mount it outside and high as I believe the COAX acts as
a bit of the antenna as well,, not sure if he took my suggestion or not
has anyone tried to use it mobile// does the shorter mobile coax feed
mess up the performance
