seams to work receives fine on both bands just need to get a SWR meter on it or a analyser to see if it is safe to transmit

thanks PhilVK6ADF wrote:How about congratulating Andy on building his first antenna. Not telling him it's no good and build a better one. It's a big achievement when you build your first antenna and a pleasure to use it. In time he will soon understand it might not hear what others hear and then decide as the first one was a pleasant experience to build, and to have a go at another. He probably does not have the experience others have, so chose a simpler design to start off. Depending on his interests it might be all he needs.
So well done Andy for the start to antenna building.
your patient when I make something I have to test it out straight away..it can be a bit hard making a 10m contact at 10pm at night but I tryVK3MEG wrote:so how does it goes have you acessed a few repeaters etc?

Yeah pretty much agree with your sentiments there Dave with a couple of minor amendments:-VK3AUU wrote:Perhaps if we closed down all the repeaters, which are generally unused anyway, then new operators would see the wisdom in building more useful antennas and they would also find, that contrary to what they seem to have been taught, VHF is not restricted to only line of sight operation.
