PVC pipe from Lowes.  Make sure you get Lowe's item #23990. 

 

DBJ-2  dual band roll up antenna -  available in HAM (144-148 MHz and

I am taking orders for the antennas.  If you want one please e-mail me back.
You can pay me when you get the antenna.

So far I have orders from WA1YJZ, W3RVC, KB3ZVH, WB3IFD and KE3V for DBJ-1

and W3RVC for DBJ-2

 

If you are interested, send me an e-mail with the model you want.  I plan on
sending the order in a week or so.  If you have questions, give me a call.
