Comments:
This is only my second semi-serious effort in this contest. I'm getting much
better at the 2nd radio, that's for sure!
I built an 80-meter dipole at 60 feet with a switch box to short the (open
wire) feeder on 160. I never got the 160 portion tuned-up. So, at 0330 UT, I
climbed up on the roof to cobble an old MFJ tuner into place. Fortunately, I
left my old 80-meter dipole up at 25 feet; so, I could still operate there. I
had S9+10 noise on 160. I could only hear with the 30 dB attenuator setting!
After getting the antenna tuned-up, it's RX antenna time...
Thanks for the Q's!
73,
--Ethan, K8GU/9.
