PLANTING IT FIRMLY IN THE DIRT AND A TAKE APART CONNECTOR JUST BELOW THE
ANTENNA ELEMENTS SO IT WILL FIT IN MY CAR EASILY.  THIS ANTENNA, MADE OF
ALUMINUM DUCT TAPE THE SHINY METAL TAPE, NOT THE GREY CLOTH STUFF APPLIED
TO A 7 OR 8 FOOT CHUNK OF 1/2 INCH SCHEDULE 40 PVC PIPE, IS NOW A PART OF
MY ARES GO KIT SEE FIGURE 1.  CAN I MAKE A BETTER MOUSETRAP?  ENCOURAGED BY
THIS SUCCESS, I STARTED TO WONDER WHAT ELSE COULD BE DONE WITH THIS DESIGN.
I HAD SOME 3/4 INCH ALUMINUM TUBING PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS OLD TENT POLES
ƒ  QST DE W1AW  ‰
LYING AROUND THE SHOP, SO I DECIDED TO PERFORM A LITTLE EXPERIMENT.  I CUT
TWO PIECES OF THE TUBING TO THE DIMENSIONS LISTED IN HAROLDS ARTICLE AND
ASSEMBLED THEM TO THE COAX WITH A SHORT PIECE OF PVC TO SPACE THEM THE
PROPER 1/4 INCH APART.  THE COAX WAS TERMINATED IN SOLDERED RING TERMINALS.
