Do you have or have you ever had up a 2 element 80 meter quad? First N6BV
told me about his and then N2RM showed me some pictures of his on Saturday.
If you have had one up please send some specifics...was it on a 40 foot boom?
Was it a Delta loop configuration fed at the bottom? Did you use a balun or
not...or did you feed it with open wire line, did you take the open wire line
all the way back to the shack or to a "tuner" and then coax back to the
rig....did you make it a bi-directional with reversable parasitic element,
basically....flood my e-mailbox with your experiences! Did you take it down
in favor of something that worked better?
Thanks!
To those of you who missed the Miami Hamboree...you missed some hot humid
weather Saturday - and a great pizza feast at the Pizza Loft on Saturday
night! Thanks Walt, AC1O (soon to be AC4E)!
One of the many bits of wisdom garnered over pizza on Saturday night:
"thats kinda like the multi-ops we do from Kenny's (K1EA) we don't lose, but
we have a great time" ...de K1AR (sounds rough!)
Isn't there anyone besides K1ZX and K1AR who like anchovies on their Pizza?
