Comments:
This is the second half of my handing out of Qs. This time from Fulton county.
The antenna was hastily put up a few weeks ago with some help from my brother
NJ8J.
The antenna is really more of an inverted check-mark than an L. It seems to work
well. I was able to call CQ and hold an impressive rate for just 100 watts.
Signal levels on receive seemed a bit down, as I actually disabled the
attenuator. There were times I could hear folks calling, but couldn't dig them
out of the noise.
The K2 performed well, but it is not nearly as nice as the K3! I miss being able
to adjust the bandwidth of the filter.
Had a little bit of trouble with birdies from my Samlex 1223 power supply
driving across my listening frequency, but they eventually drifted away.
Great fun handing out some Qs. I worked some of the same folks, naturally, but
was surprised at the different number of sections worked.
