[50mhz] Good gain verticals?

[cboone at earthlink.net]

When the band is open, it doesnt really matter as to polarization.. I have run a Larsen NMO-150 on 6SSB for years and worked a number of stations that way...when the band was open...When the band is NOT open, it makes a big difference in working "local" DX (100-300 miles out)....20db difference doesnt help. For home casual use, I highly recommend a horizontal antenna.
