I have made a 2 element Extended Double Zepp for 20m, which on EZNEC shows
14.7dB forward gain and 20 dB F/B, if mounted a half wave high. Have one
built and was up in the trees, but wind + trees = 1; antenna = 0 (high wind
and swaying trees broke one support rope, so it all had to come down for
repair) My first (and only) test netted 9N7CN snagged in an Eu pileup, with
me running barefoot. Project #1 is to get that back up and aimed better into
Eu.

Next is to put up a vertical 80m loop for all band use, covering the USA,
for sweepstakes.

Included is working for KC4BEB in Valdosta to set up a VERY competitive
Field Day multi-station that will beat the socks off of any other northern
Ga. FD group! :>)

Have sold my Orion and am now very happy with my Omni 6 Plus with Inrad 600
Hz roofing filters and my trusty old IC-781 and Titan 3 amp.
