    New Cushcraft Squalo Antennas

    not gonna post the quotes, but a lot of people don't seem to get 6m ssb, or 2m ssb for that matter. 10m e skip vs 6m e skip? i'm on 6! i suppose you could consider some 'snobbish', but when the 6m e skip is in play, you don't waste time with small talk, you snag the next one. 2m e skip...
