Comments:

A CWT with repairs: In the midst of the QSO with 
SM0Y my vertical got disconnected... We got a sea 
container last week, and I decided to use it as a 
counterpoise for the all-band vertical (straight 
radiator without traps). The vertical got shorter 
by 3 meters and it is now about 15 m tall, which 
is still a bit too long for 14 MHz. Anyway, it is 
now much easier on the MT-3000A tuner with a lower 
SWR on most bands. It took me 8 minutes to reconnect 
the radiating wire to the coax after been cut off 
from the 7 MHz QSO with SM0Y. 

As far as for conditions, I heard a non-CWT CQ from 
a SM7 on 21 MHz. On 14 MHz Stateside was weak with 
W1VE as an exception and K5CM later on. Also worked 
VE2FK. Heard N4BP before switching to 7 MHz fairly 
early in the session. 

The radiation pattern of the vertical should not be 
much different, but there is less anti-phase field 
from the lower part on 14 MHz, and hopefully more 
field radiated from the upper part at 8-18 m height. 

Cheers/73, Zaba OH1ZAA #1856 CWops
