[ARDF] Fun and Frustration

[Marvin Johnston]

What has worked reasonably well is holding an antenna building workshop 
just prior to the hunt. For $40.00, a tape measure beam kit is provided 
along with an assembled and tested offset attenuator w/enclosure. By 
building the offset attenuator and providing it with the kit, an 
experienced person can finish the kit in 10 - 15 minutes or less.

I don't particularly recommend this approach if you want to work at more 
than a couple of cents/hour :)! But it does help get people to attend.

One of my next projects will be to provide a resource list with the kit 
that will enable interested people to find out more on the web.

To get something to work well, constant testing and tweaking is 
required. And that is another reason I started this thread; to find out 
what is working for others.
