#NOSTR!
I DID IT!!! I BUILT MY ANTENNA AND IT WORKS!
First try, the thing is dead on at 145 MHz. 1.4:1 SWR and I am flabbergasted and insanely happy. The meters on my radio are all pegged now anytime a station is transmitting. It is night and day difference from the disc cone and I felt my grandfather's gentle nudging from beyond as I built it. Pour one out for W6WPG.
MY #3dprinter LIVES!!!!! The head is replaced and it printed perfectly last night. It was a good day yesterday!
