We met Brett 9M6BG/VR2BG in Kota Kinabalu on our way home from 9M0C. He is
staying at 9M6CT's place which is a top floor apartment, so LF antennas
have to be up on the roof. Brett has an HF2V which he is top-loading. This
will also be his 160 antenna if he ever gets it working on that band. He is
certainly concious of the need for 9M6 on the low bands.
