operating from a high and windy hill at the weekend, a small kit bag with the whip antenna for my FT817 blew away (plus a couple of leads).  I was going to make up a temporary antenna with a piece of copper wire and have tried to calculate the resonant length for 145.500MHz.  At the risk of embarrassing myself 17cm is what I have come down too.  Any suggestions on the correct length (I can trim with the SWR meter) or on a home brew replacement design.  Lightweight preferably.

Thanks

PLEASE COME ALONG and get your kit checked. Remember to bring any power leads, microphones, etc that goes along with your radio or radios for testing.

Can we make one, a “Wall of Fame” I mean on the website … is there a section with enough bandwidth so we can upload our certificates to the “Wall of Fame” in some sort of media format?

We’ve enough troops, top scores worth bragging about both as a team & individually, few certificates flying around ….etc

Would it be a pain to to take this forward ……. ?
