[VHFcontesting] indoor antennas on 50 MHz

[Jeffrey Embry]

That is what I kinda like about VHF/UHF.  The slower pace!  I believe
that society has gotten too fast paced and everyone "wants it now".
That is what led me to VHF/UHF and QRP...the effort put into getting
the Q, whether it is building better antennae, doing better
engineering on the entire system...or what ever makes t getting that Q
much more gratifiying.  To this day my most memorable QSO was with
K1TEO in FN31 from my QTH in FM19 on CW with 5 watts to a single Par
Omni-angle in my attic on 70cms.  Definately speaks more for Jeff's
ears than my signal....but boy it was worth the effort.  Of course I
am speaking for myself.

73,
