Comments:
Another Adventure from the Silverado Mobile. I learned that the 80m CW
"stinger" for the RM-80 Hustler resonator WILL NOT load up in the phone band, no
matter how long you try to leave it. Glad I had purchased the SSB "stinger" ...
it's quite a bit shorter and did a fine job, although a 2:1 SWR bandwidth of
only about 150 KHz, as would be expected.
40m went WAY LONG and it was almost crazy working new mults out west from WCF
with 100W with the Hustler about 6' off the ground ... some awesome 6 and 7 land
40m arrays out there that could hear me on 40m phone!
Although I DID hear every one of these, I missed: RI, NNY, SFL(!), OK, BC, NT,
AK and PAC.
HATS OFF to the stations that stuck with me to assure the KA0GGI (mobile)
exchange was 100% in both logs.
I know I'm a "glutton for punishment (especially to try a SS SSB from the
mobile) as my FCG Brother in NFL told me, but hey ... I'm ATE UP with HAM radio,
and this set-up was the best I could manage at the time!
If this STUPID hurricane season doesn't hurry up and end, we'll be into the
HEBREW alphabet soon !
