[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 1103320, member: 404998"] Hallo Channel Hopper, Thank you for the link. I had 60 days to try the equipment, there is some time left I think but it is hard going with the weather, it would have been better if I had tried it in the summer. We certainly tried our best and spent a lot of time on it, despite freezing hands : ) I had not thought about the polarization changing with reflected signals, you are of course correct. Many years ago when I got my first amateur radio licence G8HIX now G0RIT, I had both a halo and a vertical in the car on 2 meters. I remember having the same polarity as the other station was best, but I agree that reflected signals came change polarity. There are so many variables. I have never seen a tourist using a phone down here and we see thousands. We have also to take the winds into consideration with mast height, we are exposed due West out to sea to extreme gales. It was interesting and fun to try, the equipment is now all packed and John will be getting it picked up. He is a good man and I do not hesitate to recommend his service, at least you know you have the correct bits that should work if there is anything there. God Bless Spiff [/QUOTE]
