I want to finally install the Barrett 225 RC
HF Radio that Footloose kindly gave me late last year (see thread 50389)
I need to get an antenna for it similar to the EX04 from
Lake Macquarie Communications
Where in Central Queensland can I get one from or am I better off getting one freighted from else where (suggestions please).
I want to get it up and running before the Innaminka trip so I can
test it out :)) just don't tell Kiwi that I'm installing it ;)
Cheers Kev

I've got an old one here. Wire length 1340. Taps 2020, 3848, 5058, 5140, 5430, 5440, 6950, 7840
Not base, tap wire or spring though. Not sure if it may be of any use to you. Ask Footy.
Cheers

I take the day off and what happens ? Ebray pull my ad 'cause they think I'm making oodles of dough out of it and now payintg them enough (put a phone number in it), and HF questions galore on EO. Geeez :))
Kev, first of all Willems aerial will only work on the frequencies on his taps. Mostly RFDS by the looks, as others said.

Kev,
Make sure that you tell Dave what frequencies are in the radio, as he may be able to make one up to suit.
