At the ARROW October meeting, Roger W8OMB (right), Mark W8FSA, and Dan KB6NU all gave short presentations on antennas they've recently experimented with. KB6NU discussed his "Slinky" antenna and W8FSA the C-Pole vertical antenna, while W8OMB gave a great presentation on a variety of restricted-space antennas he's tested at his condominium. W8OMB's slide presentation is available here.

Very cool!

I'm going to have to either try getting my coils to work on 75/80m, or maybe buy some new coils and build another antenna. I doubt, however, that the current Slinky Jr. is copper plated, but it may be.
