20 was OK once I stuck with calling only the strong stations. The SteppIR
again would not work on 40. Spent a lot of time recallibrating it without
succcess. It resonated at about 9.8 MHZ. The inverted vee moved up in frequency
when I added wire to lower the 80 meter frequency. It was about 7.4 MHZ so I
will have to work on it in the morning to get both bands right. 80 was pretty
good and I was impressed with the west coast stations who could copy my 5 watts.
I had a reasonable rate until more stations showed up and it was difficult to
get through. It was the best antenna, so have to get the other ones working.
The 80 meter 4 square should be nice if I can finish it this year. Best rate
was 53 per hour.
It's time to get rid of the SteppIR 18e. It was junk ever since I put it up.
Quite a disappointment. I am looking at the Mosley 67 C3. I wish it had more
elements on 30, though.
Had to take some time off due to side effects and feeling pretty tired this
week.
