On August 3rd, members of the CCARC along with some visitors gathered to build a small 440Mhz antenna. The antenna kit consisted of a PL-259 connector, four radials and one radiating element along with the needed nuts and bolts to assemble it.
We had the choice of getting the kit with the radiating element already soldered in place and only having to connect the radials or trying our hands at doing the actual soldering without melting anything.
Construction was as easy and simple at it could get and we all walked away with a nice small stealth 440 antenna.
