Hi.

In my last post I discribed my perpendicular inverted vees.  They are just 
a variation on what Walt is saying here.  The only thing that I would add 
is that with the combination of the two antennas, it also turned out that I 
had a low SWR on the weak signal area of 6 meters -- about 1.3 to 
1.  Plenty good enough to work some good stuff on 6!
