Re: from Tim - FD thoughts...
I think a dipole would be a better performer. The end fed would only require 1 rope to hang up high. With a pulley, a different antenna could be easily hoisted up in minutes. Tim

Re: 3745
The 7:00-7:30 pm slot must not work for folks. I've managed to link up with someone maybe three times in 5 weeks. So I'll go back to the "random times" approach. Dave UW From: [email protected]
