FT2000 + UK Amp at 400W most bands
N1MM Logger (thanks to Tom, so easy to use)
160m - Random wire
80m - Inverted L
40m-10m - Homebrew Windom
20m - Homebrew 1/4 wave vertical
About 10 hours operation in G4. Flew to 5B4 on the Sunday on business but
forgot antenna centre and power lead for ham radio! Yeah I know, what a waste
but hey, the weather was warm and the Keo beer was cold - perfect combination.
Conditions:
- USA/Canada; unusually poor for me across the bands.
- S America; made a good few S American Qs.
- Far East; Plenty heard but unable to break the pile-ups.
- Oceania; Nothing heard except for a squeak from VK6.
- Africa; ok but huge pile-ups.
- Heathrow Airport Terminal 5; never never never never never again.
Was it lack of filters/headphones/brain that made it so difficult for some
operators? Bring on the cw leg I say.
Cheers and thanks for the Qs,
Terry
G4MKP
