Comments:
N1MM says 74 but I had at least two ops who were dupes so I logged em anyway.
I started out trying to make q's low power but that soon proved to be a lil
less than needed to make solid qso's . Noise from T-storms in Kansas was giving
me fits on rcv , the Beverage is down for summertime but a K9AY loop is still
up. with no preamp used on the loop the noise was bearable but sigs had to be
pretty strong for me to hear them well. I agree this was a much quieter summer
stew than last year, and the band was fair with qsb the worse problem here.
CW5W was pounding in and I got him to copy 3 outta 4 of my characters,but he
had KE0I and gave up ! Almost made it !
Best DX was Herb, KV4FZ ,who cudn't hear my low power calling but abt 800w made
it thru , Thanks agn Herb !
I'm looking at a bi-directional BOG for this fall when grass mowing is
over,hope that will help my ability to hear.
Rig : IC 756 Pro 3 and KNWD TL922 to a Bazooka fed coaxial inv L , RCV loop
K9AY style. N1MM logging
I look forward to the next 160m season and the Stew Perry Challenges, the best
contest on the air!
73 and thanks for the Q's, Mark KI0I
