Hi Fred,

You can find more information about the dipole mount for ham sticks at the 
following link.
http://www.hamstick.com/901.htm
Information on hamsticks in general can be found at:
http://www.hamstick.com/9106.htm
If I had the spare green stamps I'd put up one here for 75 meters. Right now 
everything is going toward college.

                    God bless,
                    Mark WZ0K
God loves you!
