I suspect there is propagation to Africa every day on 10 (may be 6 as well) but there are no stations available to make a contact there. A very good omnidirectional antenna on 10m is the J-pole. A nice built for 11m can be found here, this guy can built for amateurradio use as well. <br /><br />http://www.hpsd.nl/contact/j-pole<br /><br />Building one yourself is out of the question right now I guess. <br />For 6m the V2000 would be ok, I don't know if a halo has more gain? <br /><br />Good luck monitoring 10 and 6. I keep an eye on your blog. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.com
