The HF antenna building
nights were held January 30,31 and Feb 7, 2007
The 12 antennas built were 4 band (80,40,20,10) shortened dipoles
(3 coils per leg). Approximate length of the antenna is 54 feet. Everyone
had a good time hand winding their coils and assembling the rest of the
antenna. Their soldering ability was put to the test (for some these were
new skills) and everyone did a great job. Thanks to Al VA7QQ for reserving
the Legion room for us (as well as his professional janitorial services)
and Garry VE7EIY for his design input, construction guidance, and use of
his inductance meter. To all that built antennas, thanks for coming out
and supporting these project nights. Don’t forget, the first one to
contact Blake VE7DO in Mexico with their new antenna wins a free breakfast
