I am in Ohio taking my remaining 130 foot rotating tower down and
packing it up for shipping to my AZ QTH,
Since I had a old Kenwood 432 all mode 25 watts and an old K1FO 33
element beam still new in the box here in Ohio, I decided to set up
portable in EN80.
I opened the K1FO box and found a hand written note from Steve, K1FO
in the box dated May 1986!!... Brought back some good memories of
Steve,,
I put 17 elements of the 33 element beam together, and set up portable
on top of a reservoir in EN80mu.
25 watts stock radio no pre-amp and 40 foot of Lmr 400 on a 10 foot pole..
I did not have a code key so ran to hardware store and grabbed a door
bell switch, screwed it to a piece of wood,, wired it up and I was
setup by start of contest..
Conditions were good and I had a lot of fun with low power and
portable setup!!
It was also good to work a lot of my Friends in the Mid West and East
that I have NOT worked since I left Ohio.
Thanks to all for putting u with my doorbell code sending,, and your
patience with my low power!!
