[SFDXA] 2 Meter Halo

[Randy Shirley]

There appears to be more interest in 2 meters SSB, FT8 and other weak 
signal modes here in the South Florida area lately.  I'm glad to see it, 
since 2 meters is one of my favorite bands!

Rich W4RQ has come up with a simple way to build a half wave horizontal 
loop (commonly called a halo) that is very effective at providing 
omni-directional coverage while being horizontally polarized, which is 
preferred, by far, with the 2 meter weak signal gang.  The "egg beater" 
and the "Big Wheel" are also very good solutions.

If you are strapped for time and want to get on quickly, here is one I 
found on QTH.com:

I hope to be able to join you guys on the Thursday night net on 144.210 
shortly!

73,

Randy N4QV
