You see an insulated portable lunch box. I see 8 perfectly formed 1/2" aluminum Moxon antenna corners. Probably a 2m, and 10m.

Other than catching everything since surviving covid that goes by, doing good. Healthy right now.

How far can you get out on that Swiss Army knife?

I thought so, too. I left it behind, but it's getting less frequent that I see the old vintage items...

Astatic 200S mic with 1/8" mono plug on the cord. Flea market find priced $54.

Personally, having used and/or built all three type antennas, delta loop, 2el yagi, and Moxon, my choice would be the Moxon. Comparable (I'd say better) performance, less wind load, and lighter than the other two.

When you get an opportunity purchase a trailer wheel assembly. Get the back plate with the spindle, or make one. Place this with the spindle pointed upward. Set your mast pipe over the spindle/dust cap. Your mast will now rotate with ease.

Nope. Money's too tight right now.

Mone did the same. They would not relax although I had brought them inside for the night. I followed them outside and there it was - treed by the doodles.

I've preferred homebrewed antennas because they are fun to build, usually less expensive, and work very well. I, however, received in payment for repairing some broken down porch steps an older Imax 2000. Because I can operate 17m - 10m SSB area without hitting the tuner button I keep it up. No...
