I get that a lot here, loud on 2m, not there at 440. Need a nice little
220 meg antenna to fill the gap so I was using a channel 13 yagi for that
area along with the ICOM R-10 wideband rx. Also find one of the smaller
Create VHF/UHF logs quite handy for this stuff - I removed the lower
frequency elements near 50 mhz so I could get it in the vehicle easier.
