Is there such a thing as a 2 mtr omnidirectional
vertical beam antenna?



You want an omnidirectional directional antenna?! Nope, there isn't any such
thing.



Maybe if he visualized a round balloon on a table it might help.
Imagine then taking your hand and pressing it on the top. That squishes
down the top toward the bottom, sorta flattening the balloon. All of
the sides bulge out.

In a way, that is what we are talking about. Everything extra we get in
some direction comes at the expense of some other direction! But if
the earth is the table, looking at it that way, you can reach a lot more
people if you stop reaching for the stars...


W5WQN - I keep forgeeting to add that to my posts in this group, sorry.
