    An easy and inexpensive simple antenna assembly isnt a secret or hard to plan in the theory before. Always nice for some experiments, when HF isnt in the main intrest. The results are maybe not always good looking, but it will work. Good job, Lonnie.

    Ha, true! We just need a signal first, don't we?

    I love that experiments are hitting the pages more and more.

    Thats right. To generate a clear signal first, is much more complicated than to build an antenna. And there were some kits, like the mcHF by M0NKA, but these are gone away. But a new try with the latest Bitx are nice too. To this other commercial monobanders, which are specialized to a chosen frequency range, can offer sometimes more than an allmode for everything.

    Along this line...Does anyone have an experiment build for a 2m transciever? I am considering a club kit build.
