Is this a good antenna?

[KA9MOT]

Yes, I am pretty decent at making things if I have the tools. I can solder. I have a tool box. I earned a BS and a BA by the time I was 20, so I am eager to learn. I also like making my own over buying something.

I like board games, holding hands, long walks on the beach and snuggling. You look like a snuggler. I spoon to the right.

Then homebrew it is!

When I was a new ham my first antenna was this: http://www.movl.net/blog/2009/03/my-...plane-antenna/
It looked terrible but it worked like gangbusters. It also worked on 70cm (440)

My next antenna was this: http://www.kf7ote.com/2011/05/our-ne...en-stub-j.html It is a dead copy of the Arrow Dual Band J-Pole http://www.arrowantennas.com/osj/j-pole.html . 2 things on this antenna. It works amazingly well. It is tough. I had mine attached to the right mirror on my Pete when I was trucking and hit an owl or hawk with it @ 80 MPH. It damn near took the mirror off but it didn't hurt that antenna any. http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1613

If you want to post your email or PM it to me I will send you the plans for a very good homebrew 5 element Yagi.

Now, let's talk about that cuddle, can I bring my wife? She's gonna want to play too......
