Reports that the Esperance beacon (146.580MHz) was coming into Denmark, W.A. moved me to have a listen. I heard *something* with my VX-5R but as the rig doesn't resolve CW I couldn't confirm it one way or the other.

Typo? The Esperance beacon is 144.568 not 146.580. As the Mt Barker beacon is so close in frequency 144.564 you would probably hear that on FM instead of Esperance.
There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary and those who do not.

I made mine slightly differently with the PVC support across the middle of the narrow part of the antenna - That way I was able to alternate between horizontal & vertical polarisation.
You can probably make one that will knock down to carry in your luggage.

Thanks Rob. I've come across Moxon antennae before but I didn't pay much attention... That's exactly the sort of radiation pattern I need at work. I'm right up against the ocean and I think the F-to-B on my 3 el is out of whack
The yagi looks good. Finding the tubing that size might be tricky.. I've still got to check out a place in Malaga that Marty suggested.
