[John Fielding]

As an old ham once told me " It's not what you put up in the air that
counts, it's what you put up the coax"!!!!!

Happy New Year to all

| €  It depends on the job at hand.  On 75m phone, during the summer static

| season, talking to a large group spread around in different directions, 
| using a dipole with an amplifier is a proven way to be heard comfortably 
| by all stations.   A directional / gain antenna is not going to cut the 
| mustard.  .
