Hi. Havent seen a post in a long time either. I use a j-pole for 2 meters as I live on A small lot, the house is 1500 square feet, and the lot is not that big. I also use a 2 meter magnet mount for h.f receive and for a.m broadcast band crystal sets. Want to put a wire antenna all around the perimeter. Have 3 trees and that should do it. 73's de Allan Egleston kf6uxj
