Good reference site, definately.

I should see about compiling a list of good antenna sites for those who are interested.  There's some sweet 
commercial gear, but it's expensive.  You can build some very nice home brew antennas, of course, there's a lot of 
good information on antenna design (there's a number of places to get the calcs for building a Yagi, for example), 
but not much -inexpensive- test gear in that range, or information on coupling, that I've seen.

how about
