I would be interested in the SWR, but some folks say that isn't a good test.

It is that time for me at Blue Sky Aviation to add another set of experienced hands. I am looking for someone with prior building experience, A&P would be nice, along with private pilot ticket. Must be trustworthy, hard working, reliable, and a good eye for detail. If you are or know of someone, please have him or her give me a call or drop me an email. This is a full time permanent position and is available immediately. Sincerely, Noel Simmons Blue Sky Aviation, Inc.

It would be nice if we could test ELTs like they test our transponders, with a receiving antenna that measures the signal strength. But I've never heard of that.

In this case you will be able to compare it with a know to be good antenna. Jesse
