David,Sounds like a good project also. I'm looking for fishing poles to use
with the DHDL and gine that one a try.The poles will come handy for other
antennas too. I'm guessing these poles are not a Walmart item. Fred KB4QZH

shall be trying 2 modest flags at right-angles. I will switch polarities to
obtain 4-quadrant reception into a K3S dual receiver in diversity mode. It's
not all about gain or beamwidth but what the brain can work on to separate the
signals and noise. In the absence of acreage this should do it for me. David
