GA Jukka,
Yes, I hadn't thought of polarization or even a "blue light" filter. I wonder
if that's a thing for contesting?
I don't recall seeing the original post Gary is referring to, but as we all
age, I suppose someone out there
in CQ-CONTEST land will certainly be able to advise us!
CU this weekend from "New Brunswick"....I'll be SB 15m HP
