ah yes the trick stick!  used one in high school (for radio that is.)

It worked great on 10 and 15 meters.  I also had it on six with the t-60 but only made one or two contacts as I did not have a receiver but had to use one from a friend.  



thank you!

HI folks,

I'm curious about this myself.

sPeaking of strange dipole arrangements that were semiportable anybody
remember the Trick STick/

USed one on 11 meters from an apartment downtown des MOines for
awhile.  IT did 6 and 2 meters and some other stuff too, longest might
have been 15 though.

My emergency deployment antennas consist of a twinlead j pole and a 5
band hustler trap vertical I used to have attached to a clothesline
pole in Iowa.  I have to strap the vertical to the luggage rack on the
top of the van however.

I do sound reinforcement so I have these tripod stands that you use
for speaker cabinets and light arrays.  IT's pretty stout stuff, and
with some sandbags or bricks to help weight down the tripod base i"m
in business about ten minutes after I arrive.

Am always interested and think I may have read about this antenna
before in POpular communications.  Am I right?
