Comments:
Just got the station set back up on Thursday after my trip to PJ4A for CQWW DX
CW. Found out the IC756PRO has some problem with the AF Gain control so I need
to send to off to W6XA for repair next week. Dug out my spare radio - A Kenwood
TS850S that hasn't been used for awhile. I find out it has a loose connection in
the power plug and have to mess with that for awhile to fix it.
My regular 160 antenna is down right now and wasn't really in the mood (also
brought a chest cold back from Bonaire) to put it back up after a hectic week.
Shorted the open wire feeder of the 80 meter zepp. About 30 ft of it is laying
on the ground and maybe 35 feet is vertical. I hooked up my regular 160 meter
ground system to it. It worked OK. I was able to work GM3POI, C6AKQ, J3/DL5AXX,
KV4FZ, PJ2T and some west coast stations on this compromise antenna. Heard
CM6RCR, KH6LC amd VP2MSC but they couldn't hear me. Hope to have the regular
160 inverted L back up in time for the Stew Perry....
73, Jeff KU8E
