... Has anyone built Kent's new herring bonehand held antenna? As written up in the Spring, 2012 issue of CQ VHF magazine, the 144mHZ gain was 5.3dBd / 7.4 dVi and 435 mHz gain was 7.6 dBd / 9.7 dBi - so working the FM LEOs would be a breeze with them! Clint Bradford K6LCS

Alan, Raydel beat me to the punch. Thanks for posting. I did note that some of the referenced photo's figures were not in the pdf, probably on another page. Looks like a trip to HRO to get a copy of the magazine This looks like a fun and easy homebrew project. Rick Tejera (K7TEJ)
