Subject: Q: Right Angle BNC Connectors
To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu
I am curious... I have a scanner and a 430-450 mhz ham. Has anyone ever
used two right angle bnc connectors together? I want the antenna to go
down the side to reduce size and increase portability (keep inside
pocket)... if this aint good, is there any other suggestion?

Gee, Greg, sorry.
A military contractor I used to work for needed an automatic antenna tuner for
some (relatively) older Collins HF radios. They originally were going to buy
some mil-std tuners for $20k a whack, but instead they were steered to SGC. At
$600 apiece, they are HAPPY CAMPERS! Saved you some tax money even!

Hi Daniel, at the low of the sunspot cycle, one usually doesn't have to
worry about signals from more than one direction, at least here near
Phoenix... the East Coast fades out and Hawaii fades in. But I was not
talking about Yagis... I like Yagis and Quads but think HF log-periodics
are a waste of money and I think the TH11DX is a waste of money. I am in
the market for a 5 band beam and it'll probably be a Quad.
