Improving My Satellite Communications

Just received my aluminum rod today from McMaster Carr (www.mcmaster.com) and am ready now to do final assembly of this antenna. It is a dual band 2M/70CM handheld that my FT60 will mount directly to. It is looking pretty good. It was shown in a May 2008 QST article. Here is the article link from Gatorradio.org:

Anyway, I have it painted and just need to cut and install the elements and radio mount. I'll hopefully try it out in the next week. But it definitely looks promising!
