This month’s Discussion: 
The GOTA station didn’t yield enough benefit last year. Perhaps VHF would be better this year. ARRL has revised the rules for146.52 as a Field Day station. Last year 3A, blockhouse with Orion and SB220, MEO van, and Kihei Rental Car van with K3 and KPA500. Two 20M antennas, 2 antennas on 15, and a 3 element vertical array for15 , and a 5 element on 10.
 
Discussion about antenna placement for best angle of takeoff, best isolation, best efficiency and perhaps most importantly best isolation.
 
Goal: Two stations on 20, 15 and 40, a single station on 10 and maybe 80m.
