Do my two contacts via FO-29 using a single vertical co-linear at 30ft count?
VE9QRP @ 4702Km W1FC @ 5355Km
After all it is at a fixed elevation!!!

Dear friends,
here is my best LEO contacts made by using no elevation on 2 yagi antennas. Antennas used:
12 el. 3wl for Vhf H pol. < BR>> 21 el. 6wl for Uhf H pol.
IZ1EGT (JN44LK) -> VA3DB (FN25DI) 03/01/2005 FO29 J CW qrb 6343 km.
Sincerely I found that elevation is not needed on Vhf while it increases drastically sigs in Uhf.
Best 73s Fabio
IZ1EGT / F5VKV
