Hi All
A friend of mine, W7IVX, moved to a new QTH and until he got his
80 meter beam up, he was using a HF-2 on top of a metal roofed
barn. He tied the tin together with screws and it worked out
real well. Not as good as the 2 el. on a 180 foot tower, but
sufficient to work some good DX. Probably a lot better than a
dipole at the same height. 73
