[Antennas] Antenna question

Sun Oct 3 18:03:00 EDT 2004

My opinion- Do not concentrate on an antennathat is only for receiving, if 
you do intend to get your ticket and then get on the air. Ge a book on 
antennas and check out general purpose antennas for sending and receiving; 
you will save lots of time and trouble.
For the cost of the antenna you mentioned, you can put up several simple, 
but effective arrangements.
Go for being ready for the next step.
Good Luck- Bill
