This was a fantastic project. I really enjoyed building it and even though I engineered my antenna with slightly different dimensions, it still performs as well if not better than a $100 US Diamond omni.Here's the link:2m Slim Jim -Rob

I agree, the Slim Jim is a great antenna for the meager cost involved in building it. There are a couple of suggestions on the ldsradio.ca Antennas section. One is basically made of aluminum tubing from old TV antenna parts and the other is a roll up antenna that's a great performer made from Radio Shack 300 ohm twin lead. If you make antennas be sure to test their VSWR before putting a lot of power intoi them. Bad a bad match can ruin the finals in your transceiver.
