      Some of the usual suspects got together yesterday to manufacture some home-brew gear for a 70cm Foxhunt.   Many thanks to Johnny for prepping the materials and offering his time and workshop for the purpose.

      Well done, guys!

        More evidence (LOL)

        Johnny Thomas (WB5JT) was kind enough to host the group. He had prepared the “booms” (wood rods with holes drilled in them) and had already work-hardened almost all of the wire we used for the elements. Even with all of that advance work, it took us about four hours to get them built and tested.

        The “Club Project Yagi” plans/directions are courtesy of Kent Britain WA5VJB and can be found at this link.

        Thank you Johnny!
