Dual Band Problems solved.	Reply
by KD0AFK on May 29, 2008	Mail this to a friend!
I posted awhile ago that I was wanting to build a dual band 144/440 antenna and today I finally got it built. I settled on the homebrew version of the OSJ 146/440. link is here; http://www.arrowantennas.com/j-pole.html I put it up and it required absolutely no tuning whatsoever. This thing was so much easier to build that the copper cactus and it looks soooooo much better too. Very low VSWR at the center of both bands. I live in Mountain Grove, MO and all of the repeaters here in town are not working. Anyway, I am very happy with it. Just thought some of you would like to know. The antenna cost approx. 20 for materials. The only thing I had to buy was the aluminum and I bought that with the proceeds of selling my CB radio left over from when I stopped driving a truck. I had all of the other parts in the old junk box. (NEVER throw anything away).
