- I have been envious of the folks who use Writelog to do SO2R contesting. I have never pursued it because my assumption has been that it is not feasible on a small suburban type property. If I assume

- Hi Ron, I'm replying to the reflector, cuz I think it may interest many. I guess it depends how you define small suburban lot. DO you have room for a tower? I'm not on a small lot, but I only have on

- Off topic comment on the back yard vertical issue... Ground mounted verticals just don't really work for 20 Mtrs and up. I read on some newsgroup eons ago that the physics of the antenna means it won

- Frank, Check out http://www.k2kw.com for info on how to use verticals. The issue isn't really the band, its ground loss. thats why verticals are poor on the ground, a little better on the roof, and h

- I have been fooling around with ground mounted verticals for years (and dipoles and Yagis) The view that they "radiate in all directions poorly" is generally true.... Ground conductivity is crucial.

- Jim (et all); Not to belabor a point, but I thought a quickie expansion of vertical problem might help: Ground losses are not just 1/4 wavelength from the antenna. Good radials take care of that. As

- Ron et al, I live on a small suburban type property. I have a two Rohn 25 towers that are attached to the house and only 20 feet apart at most. I do SO2R RTTY in just about every RTTY contest. I thin

- That may well be the case, but never-the-less I have found verticals with a GOOD ground to work rather well. Most of the problems that I have seen have been associated with ground losses as my first
