Comments:
The European signals on 160 and 80 were great! Many were S9 plus. The biggest
frustration I had, was trying to work Caribbean/South America and Asia stations
off the sides of the 20M wire beam (pointed NE). This hurt the multiplier count
on 20. When I got on 15M Saturday morning, the line noise was so bad I went
back to 20. The noise finally calmed down several hours later, but I had lost
the early propagation into Russia and west Asia. I had a good run into JA but
no SE Asia. Sunday, the rain had reduced the noise and I was able to run on 15
reasonably well. 10M perked up and even managed a couple of Africa and Oceana
stations. I did manage NL7Z on scatter with the antenna over the pacific.
Equipment: FT1000MP, LK800, HB 8877, and Writelog
Antennas: 10M 5el at 70', 15M 6el @ 90', 20M extended double zepp with
reflector @ 35' NE (works great and I'm planning on for 40M, 40M wire GP @ 30',
80M wire GP with 8 elevated radials, 160m Top loaded wire GP with 8 elevated
radials RX 4 550' and a 200' (towards asia) beverages.
