Good idea. A fellow ham I worked with once had a rhombic favoring the south pole many decades ago. He was a significant communications option for an expedition down there. It was a unique ham radio experience. Jack BMW Motorcycles Chuck KE9UW c-haw...@illinois.edu Sent from my iPad > On Sep

Well, the best antenna for me so far is the only one I have, a 51' G5RV Junior dipole 30' above ground fed with ladder line into my KX-3 with KXP100.  (I also have a Buddipole for remote operation.) Given that you can never have enough antennas, what should I add?  My situation is perfect,
