The MW3RUH , Dave
Thomas SLIM JIM PROJECT Using "custom"
spacers! More Ham Ingenuity from across the
pond!
"I Had a go at making the Slim Jim from the
Hamuniverse website. I used plastic reels to distance
the spacing out correctly. Tested on 144,000 ,145,000 and
146,000. SWR is 1.2 across the board. Opens the repeater on low
power. See the pictures below and have fun! Excellent
project!" ......73 DAVE Congrats Dave on that new
license!

Editor's Note: Dave's tips on the spacers using
plastic reels really shows us that a little "Ham Ingenuity"
can go a long way! See Dave's ideas
for the "Ugly Balun"
here!
