:) He has a link for a website that does a shootout of the portable 
antenna operations.

I'm contemplating building a folded coax dipole in some thin PVC piping 
(for the element) WICEN NSW has some decent instructions for it at:
http://www.nsw.wicen.org.au/main.php?page=tech/projects/04-dipole/index

I'll be building 2 elements; 1 for 2M and the other for 70cm; probably 
on the next project day using physical construction design that a friend 
of mine gave me (only that was for HF, I'm going to scale it down to 
VHF/UHF and see how I go).

Anyone else going to build one with me?
