[TowerTalk] HF2V on 160M

[Jerry Heron]

Have two HF2V 70 feet apart switchable in, and 180 degrees out of phase.
Antennas are located close to the salt water, but have a minimal ground
system. On 40, the antennas are very competitive with the average 2 el
beam. On 80 the bandwith is about 40 kc... I use a relay to short 3 coil
turns,  to make phone useable. Very good ant on 80 for DX, subject of
course to a good location  and/ or ground . Easyly handles the Alpha 87.
Can't say that for the HV6... I blew two of those up!
