GL Next weekend...working on last minute stuff for FQP (& Nebr) here...
You have touched on a good point - when the antennas get up in the air away
from structures you tend to have less tvi...tall towers are good!
Time to load some NA contest software on the laptop for next weekends
mobiling!
Did you know it is only 7 days unitil BOTH the Florida and the Nebraska QSO
Parties!
73,
