Comments:
I ran Single-Op Single-Band Low Power Unassisted on 10 meters only as VP2EAT
from Anguilla, B.W.I.
1,709 QSOs on ten the old-fashioned way, using a paper log and a keyer. I burnt
through two ball-point pens and a 9V battery, heh heh.
Had to knock off early Sunday afternoon at 1800Z due to a bad tropical
lightning storm that went on for hours and flooded the roads all over the
island all that night & the next day. Antenna was an elevated monoband 5/8
lambda vertical with 5/8 lambda radials. EZNEC simulation showed a radiation
take off angle at around 8 degrees elevation and 5dBi gain. I would have done
better with some smoke, but I was very happy with the antenna â?" nice and
quiet due to the grounded feedpoint. Location was on the north side of
Anguilla beside salt water with a clear shot to EU/NA. Would have cracked 2K
Qs on ten except for having to QRT Sunday afternoon because of the storm. 73,
Pete VE3IKV
