I made my first VHF J-Pole last night and it works extremely well! I have no signal strength meter on my radio but I was able to pick up a 2nd weather channel (Miami) full quieting (No static) which was just barely audible on the duck. I'll try some experiments this weekend and post some pictures and diagrams on my web site next week. Total time to make it was about 1/2 hour and cost was around $5. BTW, my LED flashlight is still going strong. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow. cya *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Feb 18 1999 - 15:02:51 PST
