A better kind of antenna

No testing occured yesterday - instead parts for a better antenna were purchased. We couldn't link up our coathanger version due to lack of the appropriate connecting cable (50 ohm coax). Andy got hold of some last night and Phil bought a 5mm diameter aluminium rod. By cutting this at the appropriate length and sticking it in some 'choc-block' we end up with, what should be, a very good half-wave dipole. We hope to test in the next few hours.
