    They havent lost electricity in China yet. I think we will be ok in that arena. If not, thats a whole different ball game. I like to keep the freezer full. In times like this, pork and chicken is cheap enough. Big pot of chicken soup goes a long way. Lots of canned veggies. Tea or coffee or...

    Spt-500 or A-99 for dedicated 10 meter use?

    Thank you. Im looking for local mostly on 10 meter. Do you think having a vertical for 10 meter is redundant. I mean, should it perform better than the endfed? If not, i may tune the spt for 11 meter and put it as high as i can.
