   Look up a Jpole antenna   
      
   You can build one out of 1/2 inch plumbing supplies.   
      
   Make sure you insulate it from whatever kind of pole you use.   
      
   Short piece of 1/2" ID tubing should suffice.   
      
   I run a packet radio BBS on the internet at www.vy2xu.com.   
      
   Let me know your call when you get your licence and I will give you access via   
   the terminal on my web site.   
      
   4000 some odd message from local and international BBSes.
