Equipment Description:
FT 1000MP & ALPHA 78
CLASSIC 33 at 40 ft
Trap Dipole for 40/80 on Hilltop Tower.
Conditions not great especially on 15 --
10 was virtually non existent, obviously an indication
of things to come.
Trying to squeeze in and CQ on forty meters with a dipole is
seemingly an exercise in futility !
My delta loops used to do fairly well on that band, I guess they
need to go back up again . Large beams don't stay
up here on my hill top location so a yagi is out hi!
Am puzzled how I can work more DX stns and Europeans on
80 than on 40 especially when using the trapped end of the antenna. ?
With the preponderance of heavily ( over) processed audio
on the low bands and band width at a premium, especially on 40,
the audio issue during contests,is becoming increasingly a problem.
Hopefully the proposed 40 Meter band expansion
will quickly eventuate and help ease/eliminate ? this trouble.
Conditions seemed to improve considerably on Sunday afternoon
otherwise I might have quit and watched TV hi!
Back to antenna work when weather breaks and hope to get
some monobanders back up again.
