UNLESS you're working through repeaters and live in the valleys of a

out of the signal.



One can also have a problem with height if the get so high as to key
multiple repeaters on a common frequency. While this is more commonly
a problem with aeronautical mobile stations, it also happens around
here for stations on hills between several repeaters or whose beams
line up with more than one repeater.

The discussion was a M2 HORIZONTAL loop. Not normally used with a
vertically polarized repeater. Try sticking to the subject.
