About five years ago I bought fifteen dusty miller plants. I was very proud of my purchase because each pot seemed to contain three plants. Well, maybe not, but I was still able to separate the plants in each pot into three small dusty millers.

A tri-band beam and a two meter antenna. Both non-resonant antennas are fed with 300 ohm twin lead and matched with an antenna tuner.
