Hi 

I used to use a home brew slim jim years ago on 2 meters, it
was surprising the distances I could get on that aerial.

Regards

Adrien

I agree I have used them from N9TAX on 144/220/440 MHz and
they all work great especially if you live in a apartment or
condo.  The hang on the wall and still work great.

I purchased a slim jim antenna from N9TAX for about $23.00
and it is a great omni dual bander. No problems with
repeaters over 100k away. One can build it using the
following instructions:

or purchase one as I did from:

I turned it into a base antenna using the following
instructions:
