Hello Robin,
Hear you call two nights ago on CW. I worked George a few minutes later.
Now have 5 acres here in AZ to grow antenna and they seem to work. QTH is
quiet too.
George, thanks for the FT8 qso last night with W7YA, 3:30 am, with my AZ
call I use on FT8. That makes 9 bands.

Hi George
I could hear you well enough on 1827.5 to ID over my city lot S8 noise
inSoCalif, but no chance you would hear my 100 watts and a random wire
The guys fussed at me when I added a dozen full length radials to theTitanex
-we already had about 8 - it was up on the hard pan of the lava bed notdown
atthe water.
and we had stagger paired 1000 ft beverages that made it work like a
5elementbeam - and in the MUCH better part of the solar cycle.
I don't think getting the radials into the water would be of any benefit
-justfull length so that the RF current had someplace to flow with the
shortradiator..
thanks for making this possible. Its a huge improvement over the
monsterinfrastructure we had to set up. More antenna of course is
alwaysbetter, butnot having to build and maintain living and operating quarters is
anincredibleimprovement- even to just operator fatigue - we had 7 stations and only
12ops
