Comments:
FT817ND at 5 watts, 80m doublet at 45', Par End Fedz 10/20/40 sloper, 25'
vertical doublet.
I was just playing around, wanting to work some new QRP countries, as I
didn't
get the antenna work done that I wanted to do. I'm amazed at how well the
80m
doublet performs (most Qs made on that antenna) on all the higher frequency
bands. I've pretty much decided to add a second one at 90 degrees to the
first
one to fill in some gaps in the pattern.
I made Qs with 92 discrete countries, so almost a DXCC in a weekend with 5
watts and a small wire antenna - not bad! Wonder what I could have done
with
bigger antennas!
Hope to get a 160 antenna up in time to play around a little in that one.
