Ant: 1/4 wave inductively loaded sloper below 5el 10m yagi at 60 feet
A very casual operation and quit at 11 pm both nights. Operated about one hour
each morning from 6 am to 7 am.
W1 was real tough and I missed ME (heard K1WHS), RI, and VT (called W1SJ many
times). I never heard VE4 or VE5. My last mult was N0UD (ND) on Sunday
morning. The sunrise enhancement to JA on Sunday morning was strong and I
worked several that couldn't hear me 15 minutes earlier.
I am still looking for a decent 160m antenna that doesn't need radials and fits
on a 60 foot mast. This one is the best so far but doesn't compete with the
guys with verticals and big radial fields.
I tried working XV2E and NH0Z who had no callers but they kept CQing in my
face. Very disappointing. But I did work HS0ZKX who was very readable.
Next gig is ARRL DX Contests as VP9/W6PH.
73, Kurt W6PH
