Mark, I would NOT bet on it. I gave the tech test to a couple of TSA agents two weeks ago. I can call them and see what they say. Anything that you could stick someone with is probably a no no. Have fun next month in EL84, Rick WA4NVM As long as it fits inside your regulation size carry

Regarding the 30 degree fixed elevation...I can tell you this will work just fine from my experience. The beanwidth is not like a 10 element yagi with sharp drop offs that require precise aiming. You should be good to go. Mark Lunday WD4ELG wd4...@arrl.net http://wd4elg.net -Original
