    Shout outs galore in this video where my daughter and I get to make a dipole to go portable. Hopefully you can find all the shoutouts that we didn't mention.

    Great Job on the video. I've gotta see if sparks any interest for my daughter, who has helped with measuring inverted vees and has operated on a couple of kids days.

    Now that was very cool! My son (Adam) KI5FJE and I did the same, (build a Dipole) for 20 meters a few months back...

    The video was really put together well

    And that is how you attract the young to Ham radio!

    Congrats..

    Good job on teaching her how to DIY. You just saved her from spending $500 on a commercially built antenna to run portable....and it cost what, a couple hours, and $20 worth of junk box parts?
