[VHFcontesting] Rover Antenna

[Eric Watkins]

We(kr0ver/r) used the 70cm and 2m rover antennas from Directive 
Systems in the June VHF contest. It was our first non loop 
experience, on those bands, while mobile and I have to say they 
worked very nice at 85mph and gave no issues. Dave is a great person 
to work with, stuff ships fast and they have a good web site with 
lots of good info. (Why are these items such a welcome change from 
most commercial ham outfits?)  The Directive Systems antennas worked 
well for rover ops and we seemed to really get out from some remote 
locations(DN91).
