Gang,
In preparation for the Gilbert meet, and at least two Moose & Squirrel
nets I need to run from the field before then, I threw together a
60-meter dipole to keep the PRC-2000 happy. See:

It's 86 feet of commo wire on a PRC-74 dipole fixture. These come with
25 feet of RF zip cord with pin plugs on the end. Fair Radio still has
them for $8.50.
The whole thing is a foot long and weighs a pound and a half. I've come
to appreciate the fieldphone wire: it's light, strong, insulated, and
resists kinking.
