I got on about 0250z and CQ'd for awhile. The only caller was a VA3 station. I then did some S&P and worked OM2XW (with difficulty, the band was awful) and EA6NB. Here in the Midwest we are getting t

The inverted L will out perform and inverted vee, hands down, 90% of the time. The few exceptions will probably be near your local SR (and other times) when horizontal polarization can work better. 7
