Comments:
This was another WQ6X portable operation from W7AYT's QTH in Concord.
In between K3/0 remoting-in to NX6T, I found a couple of hours to run
the FT-1000mp into the recently-devised WQ6X Lazy 8JK Inverted Vee.
Since converting to a Lazy Inverted Vee configuration (from it's
former Lazy 8JK Sloper design), I've not had the opportunity to
test-run the antenna under real contest conditions.
As an 8JK sloper, I could barely work N6RO (5 mi. away).
As an Inverted Vee, the entire northwest (and CO) was workable
with reasonable signal levels; AND, there was NO floating RF in
the shack like I usually experience on 160 using other 8JK
configurations.
