120 watts into a coaxial inverted Vee
First night was a lot of fun. The second night was all reruns
and I went to bed early (?). Big suprise was a VK3 on the first night.
I learned a lot about using attenuation and less RF gain to increase
the radios dynamic range.
Built a short (350') beverage and it was helpful with
a W7IUV pre-amp. However due to lack of time, I connected
the short bev and preamp to the transmitting switch box
and was depending on my ability to remember to switch
out the antenna before tarnsmitting. Yeah.....
I went through 3 transistors before I ran out. :>) Doesn't take
but a microsecond. :>)
I heard a lot of North Americans who didn't hear me. Maybe HP next time.
