NAQP CW
I sent in the log as multi because I did use packet spots.
Operating time was 3.5 hours.
I never got to lower bands, visitors and such took up the evening.
Antenna was a wire that was stuck in an oak tree. It got there when I tried
to pull it out as the support of an old broken G5. Since it was really stuck
and strong copperweld, I just took it off at a slant, insulated the bottom and
loaded it thru a tuner.
I did add a 66' radial/counterpoise.
The wire knot at the top is not insulated, and it touches other branches in
several places, but being about 100' long and about 65' high, I guessed
something would work out. It worked fine on 15/20, and loaded OK on all the
lower bands. As it is old #12 copperweld, it really is invisible in the tree
and I could not break the wire or pull the knot through the fork in the tree.
If you get a lemon.... just load it up and call CQ.
Rain and wind kept me from getting a nice inverted L up before the contest.
Next week perhaps.
