Well, that was the last little bit I needed Sam.  I will let all know how it turns out.

I was poring over your videos trying to find that antenna.  I looked as best I could at station 2 but I was never able to see it until you sent the pictures. 

Have a great weekend,

The antenna i built, i used coat hangers the specified length and the ends are bent into a circle so not sharp ends. easy to do.

Thank you Les,

Les, I so enjoy your videos.  My sister lives South of you in Los Angeles.  Your flights continually show me just how great it is out your way.

I will either put a tight loop in the end of the antenna and fill it in with solder or I will affix a smooth ball to the end to limit the concentration of static buildup due to the corona effect.

I hope to soon be a contributor that will further the sport of UL flight and comradery.  This is all such a life affirming thing.  I believe that to live one must fly.  IMO

Have a great one,

John L.
