I would strongly recommend NOT using the UHF Ringo Ranger!!!!! I have one up at home, fed with 1/2 inch hard-line and it fails to work under certain conditions of moisture. The SWR is ridiculously high especially in fog. I intend to replace it as soon as I determine what I want to replace it with. How about building a collinear using coax sections ( that's what Andrew and Phelps-Dodge do)? Use pvc to house the antenna. Bob K9EUI (WA9AAC/R)
