Comments:
Weak West Coast, FL, ...only few EU came through. I guess condx were bad but I
cant really tell from my location.
Heard a couple of EU pretty good ie. I5JVA, HB9CA.
Inv. L, 34 Ft up and the rest is sloping and bent to fit in property.
4 elevated radials, up 5' and all bent to fit property lot.
Using current balun at feed pint plus hairpin coil to get 1:1 SWR.
Narrow bandwidth between 1820 and 1850; above or below only barefoot and
low power (I dont use tuners).
Trying to RX with pennant and coax loop. All only few feet away from the TX
antenna so you can imagine the result...:-)but still managed to get a few DX.
Even called by a couple of EU.
SSB is challanging with this setup but CW is not too bad...:-)
If someone has a magic RX antenna that work beside the TX ant please let me
know...:-)
Thanks for the Qs..sorry if I tested your patience with all the repeats and no
answers...perhaps I should do LP or QRP from here...wil think about that.
As far as I heard all signals were nice and clean and that helped.
