Roger,
Pretty straightforward. Narrow Bandwidth antennas + wideband modes (like SSB) = crowding in the 1800-1850 region. (and no (or very little) room for CW ops.) I was not on this weekend *(don't particularly enjoy SSB on TopBand) but had I been on, I would have spent 99% of my time below 1850MHz somewhere due to the antenna. 73 Mike VE9AA Mike, Coreen & Corey Keswick Ridge, NB _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
