Hi Steve The Oxford club tried Vee Beams in the '60s when I was first involved. They need to be tuned for each band just like a doublet, so no advantage there. Our experience was that they were not worth the effort - and that was in the days when there were a lot of USA to work during the contest where they perhaps should have had an advantage. With the contest now being basically Europe I would say don't bother. Hope to work you in the contest! 73 Roger VE3ZI/G3RBP _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
