The Brainerd Area Amateur Radio Club had five Decibel Products DB-224 vertically polarized 150-160 MHz antennas for sale.  They have a gain of 6 dBd/8.1 dBi.  The photo to the left shows Mark WØMH using a spectrum analyzer and return loss bridge to check one of the antennas on the left. He was aided by Jim WAØAXB.  In the background is Jim's mobile unit.   A photo on the right shows a clearer image from the manufacturer's catalog.  The antenna is 21 feet in length and can be easily modified to cover the 144 to 148 MHz 2-meter band.  

A special thanks to Tom Schwankl WBØCZZ for his help in getting the antennas.  (Editor's note:  The antennas have now been sold.)  More items for sale.  Click here.
