20-meter Moxon at 45 feet.
80-meter delta loop at 65 feet.
Spent two hours replacing the 20-meter Moxon with a new one using a copper-clad
wire instead of stranded. Also raised it another 10 feet to 45. Hard to tell in
one contest how it performs. But sigs seemed stronger overall. Struggled with
repairing the 80-meter delta loop. One leg remains tangled in tree branches at
45 feet. Obvious degradation in performance. All the antenna work kept me from
getting on the air until after 3 pm. Was pleased to work K4RY (KI4DVI/Carey at
the switch) at the Auburn University Amateur Radio Club with his shiny new
extra class ticket. Worked a number of fellow ACGers and also had a great chat
with ACG member K4VU/Robin on 20 meters way out in California. A nice
thunderstorm front made things interesting on 80 toward the end.
TNX for all the Qs.
Cheers es 73 de Jay/N4CBK
