Les:
Good luck with your indoor VUCC!
I worked VUCC on 2M with indoor antennas (attic). Es, tropo and
being in the central USA helped.

in VHF/UHF, I never seemed to find a site that was completely geared towards
beginners in weak signal work. A lot of sites lead me to good information, but
a lot of it assumed a level of knowledge that I didn't have, or it gave a brief
introduction with the bare bones, and no way to follow up for additional
information. Hopefully my blog will be able to point out my mistakes, pass
along places where I find knowledge and help other newcomers get up to speed
much quicker than I have. > > Comments welcome! > > 73,> > Les Rayburn, N1LF>
