[SJRA-Members] Help for school project

[Holden]

Good evening everyone,
Hope you all are enjoying the great weather. Next Thursday, I am setting up a temporary station at my high school for their annual "STEAM night" which is all about science and technology. My plan is to hang up a 40 meter dipole and bring a FT-897, FT-100DR, and a few HT's. As for the 2m unit, I would like to use a mobile antenna vs my 8ft vertical. I would like to know if anyone would allow me to borrow a 2 meter mobile antenna just so I can stick it out a window for local rx. Any help would be appreciated. Secondly, just in case 40 meters is dead during the event, I would use the vhf/ uhf radios as backup. I know I'm asking a lot but if anyone could be my "backup" to talk to kids for a minute QSO each or so would be terrific. I would like for best results a couple of people within 5 or so of Collingswood( FM29LV). Thank you so much for your help.
