Hi Cathy.  Matt, KA0PQW, or Vince, N0VZJ, usually run the 2m net.   I did
not hear Matt all contest weekend and I know Vince was busy contesting, so
the 2m net may not have happened last night.    Your vertical J-pole should
be OK to get into the net, especially if you have a little power behind it
.... if the net control doesnt hear you someone will.

I listened for the USB net, but didn't hear anything.  Was it skipped
because of the contest?  I am using a vertically-polarized J-pole, and
I'm trying to determine if the 20 dB cross-polarization loss makes this
antenna completely useless for CW/SSB.  I will not be putting up a
horizontally-polarized 2M antenna until spring at the earliest.

Hope to make it to the Feb breakfast.
