Summer Dulldrums are here - people are off on vacation, and I've got some 
text files.  I'll start slowly, to see what kind of response we get.

1.  Start with 54 1/2" of good quality TV lead.
2.  Strip 1/2" of insulation and solder wires together.
3.  Measure 1 1/4" from bottom and strip insulation.
    This is solder point for coax feedline. (center on short side)
4.  Measure 16 3/4" from bottom and cut out 1/4" notch.
    This tunes antenna to middle of 2 meter band.
5.  Feed with a length of RG58U coax.  Tape coax at
    feedpoint to the twin lead.
6.  Antenna may be sleeved inside 1/2" PVC for outside
    mounting or thumbtacked to an inside wall.
