Listened more than participated.... Suprised a few.
Reverted to the 1/4 sloper a couple of days ago and added two 120 ft
elevated radials between 5 to 8 ft high. Will add another but can't get
any out in a staight line. Would a third be better under the sloper, I
wonder, or behind it? The two run away at right angle for some 20/30
feet and then parallel. SWR remains at 1.5:1.
Following stations here quite late this morning:-
0750z KC1XX 5/5
0800z W3LPL 5/3
0806z VE3EJ 5/4
0831z CI9DH 5/5
0839z FP/KG8CO 5/9
0843z K8MD 5/5
0850z CI9DH Still 5/5
0900z KC1XX now 5/4 calling CQ VE.
Called all of them but only worked FP/KG8CO at a very nice 5/9 both
ways.
Rejoined the family at 0900z.
Hope to see some of you in the next few days.
Best 73
