[VHFcontesting] Portable 50 MHz beam antennas

Mark - You asked:

>  I'm curious if anyone knows of any suppliers for small 50 MHz beams that break down and re assemble quickly and easily.   Google searching on my part didn't turn up anything that is currently in production.  

I have about 10,000 miles on a PAR SM-50 Stressed Moxon in my rover. I recommend it highly:

It is simple construction, light weight, easy to put together and take apart with not much if anything in the way of tools. It packs into s lightweight bundle about 42 inches long. It will be 1.5 to 2dB down on a 3 element Yagi, but I think that the convenience more than makes up for it. Dale offers good support for his antennas. - Duffey KK6MC
