[NLRS] K0RAE VHF Sat, loooking to borrow 70, 1.2 ANT

[WA2VOI, Donn]

Hi Aaron.
If Jon's offer of 'antennas' doesn't include 1296 I have Cheap Yagis: one that's ~12dBi, 
4' long end mount and one that's ~17 dBi, also end mount.  'N' connectors.  Remember that 
you need decent feedline on 1296 *RG-58 doesn't work  :-)  except as an attenuator* 
LMR-400 does a good job up to 25',

I will be around tomorrow.

Good hunting!

73 Donn
WA2VOI/0
