I've used a six meter dipole in temporary situations, and have been well pleased with the performance/(cost+hassle) ratio. I build it using a support structure of 1/2" PVC pipe, with a Tee connector

Check to see if there are any galvanizing companies in your area. I had some Rohn 45 regalvanized 15 years ago, and it is just now starting to show some surface rust. Confirm with the shop, but mine

Adding a distance based scoring to the VHF contests would, IMHO, make things more interesting and probably somewhat more fair. However, one would have to take into consideration that it is MUCH easie

There is a completely separate factor (no doubt one of many) behind this. During high sunspot years, VHF contests may indeed seem painfully slow compared to running 100+ hours on 10 meters during a m
