Is one hurting the other.? they are on a 50 ft rocket launcher ab-577. thanks John new to vhf ____________________________________________________________ Forget the iPhone 6 1 little-known Apple supplier holds wealth-changing growth potential. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/5547e3216a58f63212595st04duc From w3bj at juno.com Mon May 4 14:44:52 2015 From: w3bj at juno.com (w3bj at juno.com) Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 18:44:52 GMT Subject: [2m] antennas Message-ID: <20150504.144452.32217.1@webmail12.dca.untd.com> My question is this: Would it be better to put 6M beam horizontal beam over a 7 ele vertical beam or does it matter? right now my 6m beam is on top and vert beam is underneath. 2 meter Tramsmitt is good but receive is so so.

When 6-meters does decide to open up, you're not going to notice any difference if that beam is a little lower than it is now.And since one antenna is vertical and the other is horizontal, they are on different planes and they pretty-much don't even 'see' each other.

Message-ID: <58df3869.3587.4bd6.8ef7.e492a3d6af4f@samobile.net> It looks like my Field Day group may have a 2 meter SSB/CW station this year. I know that 144.200 is the SSB calling frequency. But where is the best place to listen for possible CW contacts? -- Mike Duke, K5XU
