    Description

    DBJ-1 dual band VHF/UHF base antenna
    Why buy from imitators?  Buy it from the original inventor (Dr. Ed Fong WB6IQN – Univ. of California at Santa Cruz- Silicon Valley Campus) with 100% lifetime warranty and help out his graduate students at the same time.
    If anything ever goes wrong, just return it and it will be either repaired, a new one sent to you or a full refund (buyer's choice).  This is the same antenna that was featured in Feb. 2003 QST.
    This antenna is complete with exception of the 5 feet of ¾ inch Class 200 PVC pipe needed for the antenna.  A photo is attach and shows what is in the package.
    Individual shipping of the 5 ft antenna is so we rather you go to Lowe’s (stock # 23990) or Menard (SKU #6899684) and buy the PVC pipe for about .  If you cannot find the PVC pipe, I can send it, but you will need to pay the postage.  Please email me if you need me to send the PVC pipe.  Assembling is straightforward.
    No tools, no glue.
    Just slip the antenna into the PVC pipe, hand tightened, and you are ready to go.
