Comments:
Quite good conditions at times, but seemed that there was a lot of band noise.
It was interesting to compare 4 long beverages to the SAL30. Both performed
really well and had different characteristics. I had to do lots of switching
with the receive antennas. While the rate suffered, I wanted to work everyone,
no matter how weak. Missed Wyoming, Alaska, and Hawaii. OK7K was very strong
as was LU8DPM and PP5JR. ZF5T and ZF2AM were heard frequently. There was a
pipeline into Virginia. Next year I will have to add a phased beverage and
change the inverted vee to an inverted L, but there is a 107 foot Titanex
partially assembled in the back yard. By then I should have a 1500W amp too and
a tuning network so I can cover the upper part of the band better. By far, most
QSOs were made the first night.
