Comments:
I took a chance and put up my 4 element 10M yagi in the backyard of my home in
this antenna-restricted development.
I made sure to put up a sign for anyone creeping around to let them know the
antenna will be removed on Monday.
What a difference that made! Even though I dared not raise it too high to be
seen (actually I realized after I got it raised that I couldn't turn it past
West because the ends bumped into the roof!), it made a huge difference over
the 10M dipole I had been using.
Although the rates weren't great, I was able to run quite a bit, even with my
100W. Conditions were excellent, especially into Asia. Since I'm new to
contesting from Florida, I can't be sure if the terrific JA opening was so good
because of the QTH, or if my buddies in SNJ and DC also experienced it. Signals
were loud and lasted well past sunset, and along with many JAs I was able to
work BA, HL, and 9M6.
73, Pete, K2PS/4
