Description
The Slim-Jim is a well known antenna design used for extending the range of handheld VHF/UHF transceivers. A great first-time antenna project that can be completed in a few hours and packs amazing results. Pair that with its cheap materials and bullet-proof design and you have yourself a great project that packs enormous benefits for the new technician or experienced hams alike.
