[MCARC] Ham Stick?

[Dave Crawford]

I decided to order both a 20m and 40m antenna but from different places just to see how things worked out.  I ordered a Shark 40 meter ham stick from Universal Radio.  It came pretty fast but I haven’t got it tuned yet.  It turns out that antenna is a ProComm PFC40.  I ordered a 20 m MFJ ham stick from DX Engineering.  I used what is called a “shop safe” credit card number (set my own limit and expiration date and the number can only be used by one vendor) and there was initially a problem with the DX order that I didn’t realize for a week and then got that straightened out.  The 20 m antenna is supposed to come tomorrow. If I don’t forget I will bring them both to the next meeting - March 15.
