Re: [amsat-bb] TH-F6 and UHF SSB

A quarter-wave whip for 2 meters works great as a 5/8 wave whip for 
436.  They actually give pretty good SWR across the upper half of the 
440 band, for HT's at least, and they will give you a phenomenal 
increase in receive sensitivity above a factory rubber dummy load ..

Heard from a flight instructor:
"The only dumb question is the one you DID NOT ask, resulting in my 
going out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of 
torn and twisted metal."
