Hi Guys,
I belonged to a small club in Florida and we had a rag chew net on 10
meters. I had a 4-band vertical plus some wire antennas. I found that I
could hear much better on my 80 meter inverted vee, so, kept my hand on the
antenna switch and would switch from transmit to receive. Once I forgot to
switch the switch and some of the guys, said hey what did you do? your
signal was much louder. A friend was coming over and was going to build a
10 meter inverted vee but he checked the SWR on the 80 meter antenna first
and it was 1 to 2. He said you already have a ten meter, I don't need to
build you one.
