OK, guys, I picked up the Ten-Tec Omni D tonight, and now I need a a close quarters antenna covering 80-10 meters. What say you???? I have an IQ just above a banana peel, so I'm capable of building something if need be (That 2m stick I built yesterday actually works, with an SWR of 1.5:1 before trimming). Actually, I'd prefer to make it rather than to buy it. I live on a 1/3 acre lot in a residential development, so I don't have the luxury of building an antenna farm. Attic space is an option for installation, or along side of the fireplace for a vertical antenna. Bring it, dudes!
Oh, I learned today that the local electrical suppliers no longer handle RG58U coax. The electronics store wants an arm & leg without even giving a kiss, so I'm looking to the Internet to buy a couple hundred feet of the stuff. Anyone got a lead on some cheap prices for the stuff?
