... I guess the assumption is that no one would ever forgo 20m coverage. --------------------- Yea, I hear you. You'd think 20 meters is the band nobody would skip but, I find I use other bands more. 20 Meters is where the big guns seem to play. Lots of KW signals making my 5-15 watts seem pretty weak. Lots of big beams too. And I can see skipping 20 from an antenna point of view. 30/40/80 work great with a vertical. It's easy for me to get a dipole 1/2 wave high on 15/12/10. 17 & 20 (esp 20) are the in between bands where neither the vertical nor the dipole are optimal at my QTH. - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
