[amsat-bb] Any recommendations on a good dual band HT whip??

[Alan]

Scott,

The Pryme is great, and about the price of an RH-77 at HRO. I have used mine as a pointer when giving an 
AMSAT forum. It allows me to demonstrate that you can work satellites without a big antenna.

 It is a bit large for ordinary use, at least for most people and HTs. A few weeks back, I took my HT to 
the local weekly breakfast group. When I set it on the table and extended the antenna, the conversations 
stopped and everybody stared.

73s,

Alan
WA4SCA
