<DIV>I may be able to add to the VHF/UHF antennas if you want to consider using
any of them. </DIV>

<LI>Cushcraft Boomer 2m yagi that I can bring if need be. It needs a new
U-clamp since the stainless threads are galled. I may be able to stop by Home
Depot tomorrow and then go by work Saturday morning and cut the old clamp off.
It should have an analyzer put on it to double check, but it worked fine for
me and the radios didn’t complain.
<LI>70cm Quagi that works pretty well on 446 and best ~449MHz. It’s tuned for
repeaters and not tunable without major surgery, so if 446 is no good I’ll
just leave it in the car. If 2 more holes are drilled through the beam it can
be run horizontally polarized if needed.</LI></OL>
