Hi Bob,

I'm not too keen on the need for horizontal polarization for LF at the 
moment. At VHF, even HF, the propagation is quite a bit different from LF.

So that's why the temp went up so high today!

>actually I vote for that.

Not me, but I admit working outside is a lot more enjoyable at 38F than 10F.
