[QCWA] Flag Pole Antenna

[Croft B Taylor]

Hi Ed,

Lucky you!! We are not allowed to have flag poles in our Association in
Nokomis!!  However, a friend of mine does just that in Englewood FL.  He
winters in Medicine Hat Alberta and his call is VE6AIV.  He makes out
quite well, and I believe he has some other friends who do the same
thing.  I believe he uses an antenna inside the flagpole which does not
have large radials.

Try him at ve6aiv at rac.ca.
