Ham Radio Kilt Pin

[Mike in Dayton]

You can wear that for Hamvention next weekend. I have my radio tube kilt pin (picture in the kilt pin thread) that I will use for Hamvention.

Wore this kilt pin this morning to the VE session I was running, and then out shopping after. Found a slight problem - the magnet holding it at the middle wasn't so good of a place. It just kept moving, mostly spinning as I walked. I ended up picking up some much smaller magnets, and soldered one in at the bottom of the antenna (and flipped the entire thing around, so the antenna now comes up on the left.) We'll see if 1 magnet or 2 magnets work better holding it. Will test it while cutting the grass, and at tonight's Kilt Night at Claddaugh. I want it nice and sturdy for 2 days at Hara, a tour of Dayton Diode, and a day at the AF museum.

But what band(s) can you tune it up on?

73 de N3KIP, ex-G8VUK, G0VUK, EI4VXI

Rough figures, but the dipole on top is sized right for about 15GHz
Now, O'Callaghan, what kind of ham related kilt pin do you have for next weekend?
