Hi Wolf,
That was my dilapidated inverted L you worked before the W7 (the single W4).
Tks for digging me out - I should have a real antenna by winter, if I can
get the holes dug on ridge top for 120 ft. tower (hard line in place).
I dunno why more weren't calling you - Your signal peaked at 5NN here in SW
VA just after you worked WC7V. There was a WA1 also calling you, but it was
weak here too... Also heard/called SV8JE, but only got a QRZ? from this antenna
73,
John
