I always got great results operating from a bluff on Arkansas' Mount Magazine and similar locations, by running the ends of a dipole to adjacent outcroppings just above local ground level. It even worked well on 80m. Even when well away from a bluff edge, operating a dipole on an elevated plateau or ridge seems to work well. Gotta love a resonant dipole! 73, Mike / KK5F _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
