... using my F6A with stock rubber ducky ...

Oh, Burns - think of the conversations you would start if you reached into your duffle and whipped out a tape measure beam - and started to un-furl the elements for all to gawk ...

(No - I did not take such on our cruise ... But I sure THOUGHT of it ... (grin))

Although ugly, Kenwood put a lot of money into that tri-band antenna that comes with the TH-F6a. It is one of the better multi-band stock ducks.

GREAT JOB!
