Very popular cheap'n'easy Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is another great Edison Fong creation, sold through Ham Radio Outlet, also has been written up in QST, this is a 2m/440 antenna housed in a piece of white PVC, with an SO-239 connector on one end, according to the instructions, it's set up so it's a half-wave on both 2m and 440, the opinion among the locals who buy them up is: Excellent. The first 18 inches is simply coax so it can be attached to a metal pole, wooden post, etc., I suspect it may be the same inside as his roll-up number, performance is the same S-number using the same rig and installation as the roll-up in a fibreglass radome, PVC often has a curve and when you're trying to make an antenna line up perfectly with vertical lines and "disappear".....

This is quite weather proof, easy to hide in many resctricted situations, and if you put some Coax-Seal on the connector, should unobtrusively keep you communicating for years at your condo, mobil home, etc. Easy to sand it a bit and paint the color of your surroundings or housing complex. Great to have, as even the longer HT antennas won't get through where this will full quieting.
