Allen, god willing I will pass my general today, receive my radio, and build my antenna, you will be my first qso maybe. since I am clueless I will start with a WRC antenna, and then set up a 20m dipole, should a 20m dipole in some config either inverted, horizontal, or delta upside down or normal work on 10 meter also locally? I have way too many questions and the more answers I get the more questions I have.
