Comments: Kinda wandered in and out of the shack on this one, so
I am not really sure about my total operating time. Only have 2
radials under my dipole (I was feeding it against ground) so
system efficiency must have been dismal. Managed to work as far
east as K9DX, and as far west as KH7A. Biggest signal heard (aside
from N6LL who is line of sight from my QTH) was N7DD in Arizona.
Best (and practically only) east coast heard was K8ND in Ohio. Also
heard where W8JI, AA4MM, and a whisper from W3GH. Only DX heard
were KH7A, KH6ND, and FM5BH all with good Q5 signals here on my
200' x 50' city lot. Cuall next year!
