Comments:
Not having any antennas for the low bands, and not sure how much time I could
commit, I didn't join any of the Contest Club Ontario teams.
Between my kids hockey games I tried to get an 80m dipole up between my two
towers. I managed to get one end at the top of one tower but there were too
many trees in the way to get the other end up. I tied the other end to a tree,
left it as a sloping dipole and decided that I would get the other end up some
time later. When I went inside to check the 80m dipole it wouldn't resonate
anywhere. I didn't have time to fix it so I got on 20m at the start and worked
the first 15 minutes before I had to leave for another hockey game.
When I came home I tried to find the problem and found that braid side was
open. While trying to fix it I thought my dog was chewing on a branch -
instead she chewed right through the coax!
I made a few more QSOs before the bands died and everyone (except me :=) went
to the low bands.
Thanks for the QSOs!
73,
Chris
