I could not remember the name it's been too long but the antenna worked as good as stacked 7 elm cushcrafts back in the DAYS OF 2 METER AM. MY use of them and the one station here in tampabat shows this array is very good as you describe in a semi directinal net antenna use with a wide lobe which requires less turning. YOUR COMMENT...

NOW thoes who are pushing digital need to remember many of us USE digital where we find it is a good choice. THE BIG PROBLEM WAS THE 100KHZ wide stuff. It dosn't take a moon rocket designer to know what would have happened when 6 and 2 are open and if we are talking NARROW band digital and the ARRL keeps its meeting open it will go much better the next time. bruce ____________________________________________________________________________________ Boardwalk for $500?
