OK, horizontal it is!
I just wasn't sure if its worse to be lower or the wrong polarity.
Next summer's project is to put a 2m & 70cm beam up on the roof!
I have seen an old net listing that showed a 2m SSB net on Wednesday.
I think it was called the "2m rag-chew". But, you know how wrong those old
listings can be!
Thanks again!
