[Ccarc] VHF / UHF Antenna Analyzer

[bob at n9rla.com]

Good Evening,

I know many of you don't know me or know me well but I'm probably the
newest member of the CCARC and I live in Monticello recently relocated
back from Georgia. I am trying to construct a dual band J-Pole that is
encassed in common Schedule 40 1/2" PVC but tuning the antenna is nearly
impossible without an analyzer.  Would anyone that has one
available be willing to let me borrow a VHF / UHF antenna analyzer to
perform testing on this antenna.  My end result is to get it measured
and tuned correctly then do an antenna build at one of the club meetings
and be able to provide the members with the CORRECT dimensions so it's
an easy build and inexpensive.  This would be a perfect antenna for ARES
or any VHF / UHF radio emergency scenario or for any new tech that needs
or wants something simple built from common parts we all have that is a
cheap and big improvement over the "rubber duckie" on their HT
especially if they're on a tight budget.  Any help would be appreciated.
