Yes, Imagine my surprise on reading Dec CQ results for the last 160M
contest. NE4S is listed as the SOLP winner from Georgia. With only 36.5K
points. Well, I never thought my little effort would get a piece of
wallpaper. I don't think I entered the ARRL contest, but here we go now.
The 70-foot copper weld wire vertical was slingshot-ed up the side of a tall
tulip poplar and is coax fed with a hustler 40M mobile loading coil in
series. Anyone with a tree, not necessarily a tulip poplar, could do the
same. (Loading may vary with a pine or fir though).
Jump in, and be sure to put SECC on the summary for the club score.
Just some hype, I am sure more will follow.
Mike, NE4S
