How do to all,
I remember reading...YEARS ago (OK, so I'm old also)about someone who was on
the Honor Roll using a Collins 75A4, a Johnson Ranger, and a 260 FOOT long
wire. I believe his total on 160 was also very high......... OH, and again if I
remember correctly, it was all on CW............ The propagation Gods sure
level the playing field.
In closing, use what ya got............. but use it. GET ON THE AIR!!. Quit
worrying abut the last .5db of gain.
