APRS antenna</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want an APRS antenna for my Kenwood D-7
that would be inconspicuous when out I am walking and with as much
efficiency as possible. I am wondering, for instance, if a vhf dipole made
from two rubber duckies(eys??),i.e. one rubber ducky on each side of the feed
point, makes any sense. I would then 'wear' the antenna as inconspicuously as
possible. If there are any better ideas or if this notion is completely 'off
the wall', I would certainly like to hear of any opinions or directions to
take for further enquiry into constructing such an antenna. Thanks for
any comments in this regard, 73 de Rod,VE1BSK. </FONT></DIV>
