[VHFcontesting] Newbie VHFer needs advice re mountain-toppingin CQ WW VHF test

[k0emt@dbbear.com (Bryan - k0emt)]

If you aren't gonna have fun, don't do it.

If you have a ? wave 6M antenna for mobile use
that'll work for a 2M 5/8 wave.  Not a halo, but it'll do.

For portable, Rohn 5' tripod ~$35.  Couple "tent nails"
to anchor feet.  12' painter pole.  Home made 6M dipole
for top of pole.  Pole sits inside tripod.
Set up less than 10 minutes.
Not the biggest signal on the band by any stretch.
Fun?  You bet!

73,
