New dipole seems to work.  Confirmed that 75M is an alligator
swamp.  Did not seem to get a good rhythm going.  First hour
was best for rate, then slowly declined.  

Is the CQP freeware available from any FTP source?  If so, where?

GFDX packet cluster node is fully operational, but not installed
at the final site.  The DSRI DPK-2 will not communicate via the
serial port when a netrom chip is installed.  Has anyone else
had this problem?

Grand Forks, ND hamfest - 16 October.  Spread the word.

There was an article in QST about 3 months ago about a
4 or 5 element receiving system using similar loops.  Are
you talking about something different than this?

Has anyone tried a shielded horizontal loop for receiving on 80
or 160?  According to ELNEC, a loop 2 meters square and
2 meters off the ground should reject vertically polarized noise
and high angle signals quite well.  It looks like one could even make
an array out of 2 or 3 of them.  I'm not sure shielding it is
necessary, but the pattern otherwise does have a vertically
polarized component in some directions.

My sincerest sympathies on having a 40m beam.  Sure makes me feel lucky to
live on a postage-stamp-sized city lot ;-)  73.  --John/K2MM

OK guys, to make it worse, the beam was a birthday present from my wife
3 years ago!  Little did she realize what she had given me....73, Tom WB4IUX
