<div>Might be a very good idea to have the club purchase a dual band 2m/440 antenna at the Hamfest on Saturday in Huntsville. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This could immediately replace the J-Pole with much improved performance and reliability. Would add 440 coverage we don't now have.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the Jetstream JTB3 is available, it is about the least expensive of that grouping. See: <a href="http://www.jetstream-usa.com/base.shtml">http://www.jetstream-usa.com/base.shtml</a></div>

<div>They seem to run in the $70 range. The current coaxial connection to the roof can then be used for both bands to the dual band transceiver.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm pretty sure it has an internal duplexer for the two bands. </div>
