<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=5><STRONG>New antenna from SOTA
beams</STRONG></FONT>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Two metres is a very popular band for portable operating
but getting the balance right between performance and weight for the
light-weight specialist remains a challenge. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>SOTAbeams</STRONG> has introduced a new aerial in
an effort to give portable operators high performance for minimal weight.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Their new <STRONG>Multi Function Dipole</STRONG> (MFD)
weighs in at less than 430 gr including the feeder and is just 53cm long when
packed. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>It can be configured for FM or SSB, and is designed to be
used in a variety of situations.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>It is likely to be popular for Raynet use as well as for
SOTA and more general portable operating. </FONT></P>
