My rotatable 33 ft. dipole at 50 ft. is a pretty simple antenna, Reg.
It is not omni-directional. Rotating it can make about two S-units
difference on 20m and up to about 4 S-units difference on 10m.

I've just noticed this message is in terms of a history. I am 80 this

I hear Scorpio is the sexiest sign in the Zodiac. Happy Birthday, Reg,
and many happy returns. My 95 year old aunt, a mile away in the nursing
home, says you are just a young sprout.
