Soapbox :
Played around a bit Friday evening and decided I was having fun. I was
planning to tear into the FTdx5000mp Saturday to replace those blasted OLED
displays,but held off to avoid any possible problems and did another stint
Saturday night.
I am using a really laughable antenna, but it plays at least as good as the
worst full size inverted "L" I've ever put up. Take a DX-LB and stand
one leg vertical and the other leg as a single elevated radial. My DX totals
reflect this as much as a really stupidly horrendous noise environment and no
receive antenna.
Conditions were even better Saturday night, but Europe was still relatively
rare. Furthest worked to the west was AZ. Found a 4M high up in the band all
alone, that was cool. Was rolling along even including a few short runs.
Suddenly around 2:00 AM local it seemed like no one could hear me any more. I
took that as a sign to hit the sack.
Apologies for forcing you all to suffer what must really be a piss-weak
signal!
73,
Ken - WO1N
