A completely portable 2m antenna with remarkable performance. This antenna rolls up into a small enough size to fit into a (reasonably roomy) pocket thus making it ideal for portable operation, camping, holidays, etc. It is also a good enough performer to use as a permanent station antenna, use indoors or out. Hang it in the loft or from a tree or just hook it over the curtain rail (as I did with mine for several years perfectly good contact with 3 local repeaters).
This antenna is weatherproof and sturdy enough to take some rough handling.
For a perfect base antenna this can be slipped inside a 2m length of plastic pipe & mounted on a suitable pole or mast (this what I have now done with mine, with fantastic results).
I have recently acquired a 70cm rig & have found that this antenna resonates on that band with reasonably low SWR.
The antenna has been tested “on air” it has very low VSWR over the whole 2m band (less than 1.5:1) and is complete with 5m of RG58 good quality coax, terminated in a PL259 connector.
