[VHFcontesting] WIMO 222MHz Big Wheel Interest?

[w3cmp]

Sent from my GalaxyGood afternoon all-      I am trying to gauge interest in purchasing a 222MHz Big Wheel antenna.  Wimo antennas in Germany makes Big Wheel horizontal omnis for 2 mtrs and 432MHz. https://www.wimo.com/en/big-wheel-wimo-omni-antenna ;  DX Engineering sells them in the U.S. Unlike a loop. they have some gain over a dipole. There are YouTube videos describing construction of, and operation with 2 mtr. Big Wheel in U.K.     Wimo would make a wheel for 222 MHz if there is sufficient interest, i.e. firm commitment for at least 40 antennas.  Price is about the same as their 2 meter Wheel, 120 - 150 euro.  I can tell you from experience they are well made and can survive at least 60 mph driving without damage. If there is sufficient interest I will try to coordinate a group purchase. Please tell me if you have any interest in a 222 Big Wheel.73, Chris Patterson W3CMP
