Well, let's see. 250 feet point NNW, unterminated. 5 ticks and 20 mosquito
bites from the woods from Wednesday afternoon's installation.
Not hearing much on 160 or 80 last night. At 2300 local tonight, I fired up
the rig on 15 meters, could not hear any of the JA's on my 2 element 5-band
hex beam at 45 feet. Turned on the beverage, and BAM! 5x5 copy of several
JA stations.
Well, SOMETHING is working. Maybe not what I had intended. Perhaps I need
a longer run of wire. Or maybe better yet, just leave the thing alone since
it seems to be working just fine on 15 meters where I can use it now.
Now I need a longer bev pointed at Europe.
