Richard and Ed H.

I have started reading messages in the LS_ARRL echo on Docs Place BBS.

I get ARRL Bulletins and Amateur Radio News Line messages and other
messages in that echo.

You All may have seen this if You read that echo.

In case You don't here is the web link.

Watch the YouTube video at http://tinyurl.com/23fftkg that addresses
one of amateur radio's urban legends regarding homebrewing an antenna
from a Slinky.

I didn't use a SWR Meter when I used my Slinky Antenna on 80 Meters.

The Ham in the video checked out the Slinky Antenna he made of 2
Slinkys instead of the 4 that I used.

His Test Equipment showed his antenna wouldn't do him any good on
40 Meters or 20 Meters.
