The OMs Jean Marc 3B8DU and Patrice 3B8FA assisted in a training role.
The participants were able to build and go home with their own dual band VHF/UHF Flower-Pot antenna (3Dbd on VHF and 6Dbd on UHF), tested with SWR max. 1.6:1. 5 Five antennas were made during a 5 hour afternoon session. The parts RG58 coax, PVC pipe were donated by the two facilitators and the in-line sockets were purchased.
A successful workshop which should help the participants get on the repeaters very soon.
