Josh, you are talking about going to Lowes, what kind of parts are you looking for? I might have some extra stuff laying around that could help.
I tried to build a triband "cactus" J-pole last year to match my mobile, and after several weekends I never could get it to tune without an analyzer. I finally gave up after spending about $100 on copper tubing and such, I broke down and just ordered a Diamond X510 and called it done before I spent any more money on the "cheap" way out. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the time I spent on it but I also learned that sometimes its cheaper to let the experts build it. With the current market for copper, it's at an all time high and still going up, plus shortage of raw materials you might be ahead just to order a factory antennae.

I can say as a fairly new guy that we appreciate the time you put into it. I can’t bank on much these days but I can always count on Saturday night at 8PM. I look forward to meeting some of you guys at the breakfast one of these days if I can ever get the time. Seth KO4KAJ

Saturday Night Net Results
#simplex-results
We had a whiz-banger of a Net tonight with the following results:
50 on 146.415 FM (Red Alert) 13 on 144.240 USB 11 on 50.135 USB The last year or so, the number of check-ins has bounced, roughly between 30 and 50 check-ins per net. Tonight was indeed one of the big ones. Thanks for everyone's participation. Each of you are helping others in understanding their stations' capabilities. Keep up the good work!! -- Hope to hear you on the air!! Paul K4PEW Mt. Juliet

Help building an antenna
#antennas
KO4HGO Josh
I have 2 SO-239 connectors that I plan to build a 2 meter and a 440 ground plane antenna with tomorrow. I had someone coming to help me but that is not working out. They had the soldering iron and swr meter I needed to build them. So I am in need of someone with the equipment that would be willing to go with me to Lowe’s to get the rest of the parts needed to build these antennas and help me assemble them. I am in Gallatin at the corner of 109 and airport road. Anyone available to help? If so call or text me @ 615-812-0747
