Equipment Description:
TS-440S, TH3jr, G5RV
Operated for 5 hours. Had Fun operating off and on Friday evening and
early Saturday morning until the Aurora Started. Heard 2 stations off the
moon on 2 meters as well. Low Power and Coronal Holes dont quite compliment
one another! Do believe some of the 40 meter DX Sigs were the strongest I
have heard in quite awhile! 9M6R was 10 over at times on a G5RV Ant.
JA0JHA gets my vote for the best 80 meter antenna in Japan!
73, until next time! Mark, KE7nS

Sorry for the bandwith, but I could not find Larrys e-mail address from list
and it did not appear on his mail.

I would like to know what kind of feed you used and how many radials etc.
could you e-mail information directly to jari.wirzenius@kone.com.
Also anyone who has experience on N4KG tower feed system can send me e-mail
how their system works and how they have chosen to make the impedance match
etc. I'll post a summary to those who are interested.
I am using N4KG antenna special on 160 m and it seems to work well. I have
worked recently xx9, vk6, ct3 and several ja's with it. No state side yet. I
could not work in CQ WW SSB on 160 m, but I will concentrate on CW part.

Called CQ once all weekend. Netted 3 Qs until a 3-lander took my
frequency (I could barely hear him so he probably couldn't hear me).
As a result of no CQing, the continent breakdown was weird (for here):
NA=27% SA=30% EU=33% AS=1% AF=7% OC=2%
Path to Carib. and SA was a pipeline. 12% of my Qs were with LUs.
Heard EU on 10 both Saturday and Sunday on skew path, but no go.
