Even then, it will\nwork. I used one during the June VHF contest and was able to work UHF with\n20w to the same places I did on VHF with 50w (around 250 miles).\n\nA plus is having both bands on the same polarization.\n\n73\nFernando, KF7R\n\nOn Mon, Jan 27, 2020, 3:58 PM Greg D via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> Besides the mechanical issues that others have noted, one thing to \n> consider is that the 2m / 70cm elements are at 90 degrees from each \n> other.
