[VHFcontesting] vhf/uhf activity

[Ev Tupis]

----- Original Message ----


I think many try out the loop, don't
hear anything because of its poor performance, and
then give up on 2 meter SSB because there "is no
activity."
----------------------------

It has been my experience that the typical new SSB VHFer tries with their FM vertical and then gives up for lack of both signals and DX.  A horizontal loop would give 'em an extra couple of bels and a significant amount of success.
