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.<br>

<div>I was unable to make any contacts last night for the 2M VHF
Spring Sprint but this wasn't surprise since my set up is
less than ideal at the moment. I did try calling CQ on both
SSB and FM. </div>

<div>Next up, I will be trying 222MHz, FM only for next week's
Spring Sprint. Even less ideal setup than the 2M station I
used this week. Only an HT into a rubber duck antenna at 5W
unless I can throw together a better antenna this weekend (the
only thing I could possibly improve at this moment).</div>

<div>I will be on 2M this evening from EN72an around
8:30PM Eastern. Not the most ideal setup, running into
a vertical only about 15ft off the ground but I can do
both SSB and FM.</div>
