[Mich VHF UHF Society] VHF Spring Sprint

[Roger Cox]

Mike,

I CQ'ed your direction on 144.205 several times last night but didn't 
hear anything from you.  I remember using a vertical on 2m SSB when I 
first moved to Spring Lake.  I could barely check into the Sunday night 
net that Bill calls from Holland, and he was only 20 miles away.  A good 
2m horizontal omni is the Cebik triangle - fairly easy to make and very 
omnidirectional.  I can send you the plans if interested.
