2011 Wisconsin State ARES/RACES Leadership Conference

I had the privilege of once again attending the annual Wisconsin State ARES/RACES Conference. I can’t believe that this annual event has been going on for 13 years now, and of those 13 years, I’ve only missed two conferences, the first one, held in 1999 and again in 2004.

VHF/UHF Antennas for Amateur Radio, Public Safety, Business band, Scanning, and Broadcast

Welcome and thanks for viewing my site. My name is Michael, KB9VBR, and I carry a full line of VHF and UHF antennas for sale. I specialize in a certain type of antenna called a J-Pole. The J-Pole antenna is a 1/2 wave antenna with a 1/4 wave matching stub. Sounds complicated, but it really isn't.

The great thing about J-Pole antennas is their simple design and excellent performance. My antennas have a low noise floor and a beautiful omnidirectional radiation pattern. They work great for amateur radio, public safety, scanner listening, business band, and GMRS purposes.

Got a question? Great, use my contact form to ask away. I'll be glad to answer them.
