retty darn ingeneous packaging! Hams, unlike university students, all have fat ingers and would struggle to extract that 3-part antenna boom. I like the abric roll-up concept, but wonder if it would present wind-load problems in a eal-world field application? 3, erry, K5OE ---- original message ---- liked the fold away yagi antenna in this video of the OSSI ground station.
