Has anyone out there tried any of these antennas??? Just made my first for 144.200 and it looks like I have already dropped it and ran over it with the car! Since it is almost impossible to get the 1/8" (#10) solid wire elements straight, how much will this affect the thing??? Going to try to get it tested tonight with a MFJ SWR tester to see if it works. Jacob Tennant K8JWT
