Comments:
Came home from a Saturday evening event honoring a brother inlaw and decided to
put in a few hours to see if by accident I might muster a QSO with someone in
WV (my last state needed on 160m) - did not happen.
There was a bit of a prestorm bluster going on outside with breezes and drizzle
but all in all, the band seemed quieter on my OCFDP at 50 feet. In that I
usually can only find my way to the banks of the Mississippi River with no way
to get across, I was certainly pleased that I rotated the Power Out to 200w (I
was just hoping the 3db was going to get me that WV) AND I was not only hearing
east coast but being heard too.
Of the 48 states, I managed 38 but alas no WV. DX was just KH6 & PJ@T but
again i was just on for a few hours. 6 VE Mults was good for me and the APF on
the FT-5000 helped poof up the QSB drops a bit.
For the short time it was, I did have a lot of fun and kept me busy till (it's
nice being "fresh meat") I could nolonger keep the peepers open.
