Hello all -
I was fortunate enough to purchase a 40 meter ham stick at the
Ottawa/Carp ham fest for $10. I cannot remove the nut from it.
My idea was to adapt a Burlington ARC antenna project after I saw a
similar antenna at the home of Jeff Davis, VE3COJ in late August.
Commercial antenna pictured here:

The antenna is called a PAC-12 Antenna by: KA5DVS.
PAC stands for: Portable Antenna Concept
An Ipex PVC Conduit Body, 1/2-in conduit box is used as a base for
the ham stick as well as for internal wiring and a wing-nut to attach radials,
Conduit is pictured here:

A stake is attached at the base of the Conduit Body for in-ground
insertion.
Does anyone know where I can obtain an SO-239 Connector To 3/8-24
Thread adapter locally or from a Canadian Supplier (in subject line)?
Are Saturday breakfasts still being held and attended at Smittyâs?
