    "content": "\nI started out doing the portable thing with a home-made \narrow type antenna and a dual bander (Heathkit HW-24, \n10 watt radio ) and  a  gell-cell battery.  It works  great !\nAlso have done a lot with the HT and Arrow and it's OK too. \n5000 +  QSO's mobile and portable can't be wrong ! \n\nI was using a  6 element Cush Craft beam with 3-2 meter \nelements attached in the same style as the Arrow. \n\nThe Arrow works better!  I think the Cush Craft 6 element wasn't\nso hot. \n\nAnd I agree, if one were to use it in some sort of permanent\narrangement, put lock washers on the elements or you'll find them on \nthe ground. \n\n73, \nJohn K6YK\n\n \nOn Wed, 08 Apr 2009 19:42:28 -0800 Edward Cole <[email protected]>\nwrites:\n> I had the only the 2m elements of my Arrow attached to the crossboom \n> \n> of my B5400 az-el system and it worked fine.
