I just bought a Hustler 5/8-wavelength commercially rated antenna I'm going to put up soon. I have a homebrew 6M dipole I made a couple of years ago, but I only had it up for the VHF contest. I may get rid of the 88' end-fed wire I have, and get the 6M dipole up there instead. Be interesting to see how a dipole at 25' compares to a vertical at 12'. With 200W from the 101MP, I hope I can be heard!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-78185051421166818502022-04-06T16:37:32.473-07:002022-04-06T16:37:32.473-07:00Good on getting the home repairs under control.
