When the whatever-it-was hit at about 1610Z I was on 20M, which got
real
noisy and even the big guys sounded QRP. What happened?
When we moved about 1/2 mile to this QTH, I used the TA program to see
how
much of an improvement being on the side of a steep hill would be. It said
it was
like adding an element or two to my antenna. HA HA, sure, I thought.
Well, I'm a
believer now. Too bad I didn't have more elements to start with.....
Thanks to those who had to dig me out, and my appologies for being a
speed
bump.
