What kind of dipoles are being used out there


(store purchased only, please)?


Buther Boy


Do you frequently talk skip with them?


(There are no famous store bought dipoles. You can get them on ebay.
But, I left you a post on how to build one. You will not get any better
performance from a store bought dipole than a homemade. And you can
easily talk skip with them.)


AES carries dipole antennas. So do quite a few other Amateur suppliers.

if you purchase a A-99 and laid it horizontally.

A dipole should work better than an Antron on its side.
