Didn't do well from NH. A new inverted 150' sloping inv. L with two 130'
raised radials
heard many more EU than usual from the condo but very weak. Did manage
a G4, F5, and C6.
Planning to change the sloping part of the inv. L to vertical (40') for the
next contest
and hope for improvement.
With the two raised radials connected the SWR did not change when some on-ground
random radials were connected.
A question:
Using the 2 above ground radials should the house/rig/A.C. grounds be isolated
from them ?
It seems like the 2 above ground radials control antenna impedance and not much
change
when house ground and random on-ground radials are connected.
BTW on 20m worked P75T in Zone 25. An Asian site posted a North Korean location
for that call. Anyone have info on that ? Apparent bootlegger ?
Fun contest with many tremendous 160m VE signals.
Heard HK1NA pretty well but no QSO on 160.
