A BIG Thanks goes out the?exclusive and sometimes elusive "gang of six" for
helping raise my 5 element 6 meter quad yesterday in the 'summer' heat.? Pizza
& beer was consumed afterwards.? Design freq was 50.1Mhz and actual?turned out
to be?50.398Mhz with the low end 2:1 at 49.8Mhz.? So with a typical wire
expansion, in a month, it should be resonant near 50.2? (???).? Excellent!? Did
work a few New Englanders coming at S-9 which would have been S-5 max with the
previous 3 el on a deck tripod.
?
Again... thanks go out to:?? Tim Lemon, Christian Kuhtz, Chaz Cone, Bill Barr,
and Jim Padgent (not a ham... yet).? You guys are terrific!
