Hi Al,
I am 78 years old and live in a retirement community. I have a
problem with antennas as I have to use one in the apartment. I am
using an ISOTRON 20m antenna sitting on the top of the bookcase next
to my desk. I am running an Orion on PSK, at about 35 watts. I hear
pretty good, however, it is hard to make contacts. I have contacts
over the last several years from all four coasts, Canada and some
South American hams. It isn't efficient, but it works.
I hope your Dad can find a good solution. My ISOTRON surprises me at
time. They also have them for all bands.
Take care,
73,
Dick, N5XRD
