Hi,

Well I made a handheld verson of a there element yagi toady for my HT. I had a old camera tri pod around so i dug it Ive got to make a peace for amgle iron to mount the yagi and HT to the tripod,  I used rabbit ears for the elements, PVC pipe for the boom and feed it with RG58 because I had a small lenth laying around. I put a piece that whent over the pipes of my wheel chair when we added the anti tips to the top.  found six pair of rabbiit ears. I used  three on the yagi. So then I looked over at my sleeved veritacal dipole for 2 meter I made and used last summer when i first lic. I thought Hmmm.. tomorrow I use four of what left and and a ground plane to it. 

maybe with the last two i will make a indoor dipole. not ready sure what to go with them. hmm. maybe they will just sit in the junk box entil somthing comes along. 

Ive also got a piot headset I need to make work with my Icom IC28H. I gues there was a write up in QST in the april QST on this vary thing. 

I have a keyer I want to get started on as well. 

I will post pic of the yagi I made today in the AM and do some testing as well and post it. 

My new Astron RS 20 should be hear tomorrow as well. 

well thats about it, just wanted to post a bit on my projects
