So I have an old what I think is a Jaybeam (not sure) 70cms 3 x 5/8th colinear antenna, Anyway I connected it to my antenna analyser and then adjusted the 1/4 wave matching sections and got a perfect resonant match on 446.100MHz
I then took it out to a high spot to test it out and it worked fantastically getting excellent results and pulling in weak signals.
Here is a picture of it attached to a magmount on my car during a recent visit to a well know high spot.
So I am all set to join the 8 @ 8 nets on a Sunday evening,
Thanks for reading and 73 from Mark TM2Ø5
