Buther Boy

Do you frequently talk skip with them?


There are no famous store bought dipoles. You can get them on ebay. But, I left
you a post on how to build one. You will not get any better performance from a
store bought dipole than a homemade. And you can easily talk skip with them. You
would get the same peformance from a homemade dipole as you would if you
purchase a A-99 and laid it horizontally.

Vinnie S.

I get the homemade concept, but am disabled and not interested in
trying to build one! I see through your links that the Workman BS-1
is one store bought option. Anyone have any experience with this one?
I know that Workman is a low-cost option.

Thanks.

Buther Boy


There is no experience. They will all work the same, if you cut them to the
lowest SWR. They will work like a homeone. The difference is you don't have to
assemble. You said you are handicapped. Can you hang and trim the antenna? If
so, that will be the hard part. Building it easy.

AES carries dipole antennas. So do quite a few other Amateur suppliers.

A dipole should work better than an Antron on its side.

Thanks a million, IANGB.

And regardless of whether or not I'm disabled, I shouldn't have to
defend myself against usenet idiots like you who think that everyone
interested in radio should build their own antennas/radios.

What a joke!! I suppose I should build my own radio too?

With your free time, why don't you find some self-esteem in completing
your COLLEGE education, rather than suggesting everyone enjoy things
the way you do by building them. Not everyone does.
