Thank you for all the replies. I have managed to secure more than enough for the jobs at hand. I have ordered a KU4AB SQ-144 horizontally polarized loop for 2m SSB work and will be stringing up a new mutiband HF delta loop as soon as I get my 4:1 balun made. Too many honey-do's and of course it hasn't been cold enough lately to work outside! Thank you again, Max VE3TMT --------------------------------- Looking for the perfect gift?
