Comments:
Well, that was embarrassing and humbling…
With a rate less than 1 per hour of operating time, it doesn’t seem worth it.
But with the weather so bad (rain, sleet & snow) it was a good excuse to
spend some time at the radio…and dreaming of bigger antennas and better
propagation. My only excuse for the low QSO’s was (1) a S1-2 sporadic noise
on the band all weekend, which has mysteriously disappeared this Monday
morning, making it impossible to work S 0.5 signals; and (2) orienting the
fixed tree-supported yagis in the wrong directions based on my inaccurate
propagation assumptions. It would have been nice to have had one of those
Zeppelin’s floating above the house suspending a couple of long-boom yagis
versus the ineffective vertical Zepp in the back yard.
Station: Elecraft K3/100, 4 and 6 element OWA yagis, Collinear End-fed Zepp
vertical (N1LO design)
