    11 meter is very quiet?

    When the DX is really running hard 38 lsb is almost useless to have a QSO of any length. When the DX is running from other countries you can get on 27.555 and usually make a contact and move to another frequency and have a decent conversation. Now and then though it is fun to pull out the big...

    It will well worth the drive to get Nomad to do that work for you. He is the only guy I have had to do any work for me for over 25 yrs. He is the real deal.

    Maco V Quad (2 element)

    Back in the 80's I had a set of those stacked in the other shape. They worked very well but like you Saud it takes away from horizontal and vertical both in that position. Can't hurt to try it if you can without a lot of trouble

I have 2 43's and half a dozen slugs and bought them used and have as much in them as that. Like Nomad said they are more than just a power meter. If I were going to buy a new meter t I day I...

    Maco v Quad ????
