Comments:
Well, ya' don't use CW you lose it. Thanks everyone for your patience. Station
working well -- mostly operator problems! Part time effort.
I've a 200' run to a 40/80 mtr vertical. On 80 it has about 125 KHz bandwidth.
At the low end of the band I calculate I'm losing 90% of my power to additional
line loss caused by high SWR. Bought an auto-tuner at hamfest the morning of the
contest and put it at base of the antenna 30 minutes before starting. Seemed to
be a BIG help as far more responses to CQ's than ever before. I've more
experience with SSB so will know more next weekend with NAQP SSB. Also put a
4:1 balun on the full size 80 mtr horizontal loop and have noticed significant
improvement there too.
Surprised I found anyone on 10 meters. He answered a CQ on the second go
round.
