We tried this in 2016 and it went pretty well. A ladder line jpole was a cheap and easy vertically polarized antenna that seemed to give good results. We eventually stopped due to lack of participation. But I’d love to see this start again!

Relays ARE part of our game along with the ability to accurately pass the traffic as you know.  Buddy had another engagement so he couldn’t continue with the Net and relays from the south.
