[CQ-Contest] Basic SO2R ?

[Mark]

Another plug forw2vjn's book available from

Also be careful expecting dipole and vertical to not interact.  There is quite a bit of coupling
off the end of the dipole when it's pointed at the vertical.  If the dipole is broadside to
the vertical, the rejection is good.
