Comments:
Hmmm... It was tough running from the west side of the big island of Hawaii. The
location is ideal except for the two 13000 foot high mountains to the east. I
used a Butternut HF6V w/160 adaptor over a 50 radial field laid on the ground.
QTH
is 500 feet up overlooking the sea to the west. It has a clear shotfrom 180
degrees to 360 degrees to the west. This antenna worked very well on 80 and 40
but I felt really puny on 20 and 15 looking east to NA. 10M was a non-starter
for me with no signals heard from NA except N6RO who was my only 10M contact.
Thanks guys. I heard other KH6's working station after station on 10 but I
never heard the other side of the QSO. In '04, I worked this test from the
seaside down in the town of Kailua-Kona using only an Outbacker 12 feet tall.
Conditions were much better then and I did very nicely on the higher bands.
back to the drawing board for a better location next time. Thanks to all who
pulled me out.
