NI4L Antennas

Amazon just sent me an e-mail recommending these antennas (based on my past purchases, not their technical knowledge of amateur radio antennas). I haven’t used any of them, and in general, I always tell guys that they can save money and learn stuff by building their own, but hey, some guys prefer to not bother with collecting the parts themselves.
