ANTENNAS

Antennas are near and dear to every amateur radio operators heart.  Rensselaer County RACES operators are no exception.  After all, a properly selected antenna is critical for effective radio communications.   

Roll-up J-pole for portable use.  This antenna is made from TV twin lead, can be rolled up into a small package and kept in your HT go kit.  Useful for those time when you are noisy into the repeater.  It will tape to a window nicely.  Works good too.
