Remarks:


Lousy condx on low bands... Fourty almost dead in the middle of the
night... No sunrise peak at all on Sunday (heavy aurora at abt 05:00z).... 

I did 4.5 hours of 20 m, and really enjoyed that... There at least I was
able to get the rate meter in the red, hi..

Thaks to all for the points!

I designed coax stubs on both trhe 80 and 40 m ststaion. Each uses two sets
of stubs with each a 1/4 wave "decoupling" line inbetween (a 1/4 wave on 80
in the 40 m setup), and a 1/4 wave on 40 in the 80 m station. Attenbuation
on each pair of stubs was measured as > 60 dB with a network analyzer.
