[Elecraft] OT: 2m beam orientation

[Richard Fjeld]

Here in the plains the closest thing to a mountain top is a gopher mound.

Seriously though, repeater activity is almost dead compared to what it once was.

  Do all of you live many, many miles from the repeater that requires a high
  gain antenna to reach it? 

  Here along the west coast of the USA we use a simple 1/4 wave whip for
  repeater connections since we are working a repeater on a mountain top in
  line-of-sight from the rig. 

  The Yagi's and other gain antennas are for CW/SSB/DATA over long paths with
  horizontal polarization.
