Comments:
A true low power operation to improve the country's result in the table. As I
was not able to accomplish my real 4SQ antenna for 80m during the summer, then
tried out a wire 4SQ of inverted L-s hang from my quite low (18m) tower. Just
one radial per each element. But it seemed to work, at least was better than
just a wire-vertical with much more radials. The start was slow, was pretty
difficult to get through even to most of Eu stations. But things improved
step-by-step and by the first morning I had worked some US and Caribbean even.
The propagation was clearly better on Sunday evening and it was then I had even
some CQ-runs to Eu, otherwise - mainly a S&P style contest...
The highlights were to get zones 30, 35 and 39. Lot more zones and countries
heard, but - just 100W is tough on 80m! :)
