Comments:
Got into this at the last minute. My antenna would not load on 160 so I turned
the power down to 5 watts and answered K4TD's CQ on a whim. I was amazed when
Rick answered! I managed to work another 30 or so Q's in that manner the first
night. Saturday I attached another 60 feet or so of wire to my "vertical" and
pulled it over the tree top and back toward the ground. I have a very
sophisticated antenna system! In the end I have a wire from the house running
at a 60 degree angle (approx) to the top of a 60 foot tree, over the tree and
pretty much veritcal back down. I tied it off and fired up the rig. The
Orion's internal tuner found a match, so I was ready to go. Of course, the
efficiency of the antenna is questionable, but it worked!
