Re: [IRCA] 15 September TP/DU Victoria B.C. Canada

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the antennas are in the planning stages. I was planning on putting one up either this weekend, or next. I haven't fully decided between a corner fed loop vs a flag. I'm also wondering if a bidirectional loop, or flag would work with two wires fed at opposite ends.

Thanks for considering my questions.
