Comments:
Shunt fed tower temporary lashup failed early in the event with sudden increase
in SWR. However both the vee antenna and the shunt feed were selectable on the
remote coax switch, so I could compare received signals. The shunt feed was the
winner, hands down, as rcvd signals were stronger by ear and by 2-3 S-units.
All but about five Qs were worked with the vee, which garnered some nice DX
(new for me on this band): F5IN, OL1A, E77DX, DL6FBL, G4AMT.
I'm looking forward to making the shunt feed permanent before the CQ 160!
