[SixClub] 6 meter vertical

Wed, 25 Feb 2004 15:24:59 -0600

It isn't... but if you like to chat with the locals on 6M SSB out to 
100 miles or more, a vertical ain't worth squat! Obviously, for 
working mostly FM with local mobiles (which I believe he clarified as 
his purpose in his response to me) a vertical is what you want...
