[Fourlanders] K4VBM new QTH

[P.T. Corners (Bob)]

Hello, to all my Fourlander friends!

I have moved my QTH to Stillwater, Oklahoma in grid EM16le.

I am most likely not within any of the circles anymore for participation 
in contests or the DX Marathon, but look again for K4VBM on the waterfall.

Moving is pretty traumatic, and it has taken awhile for me to get my 
station somewhat put back together and an HF wire up in a mostly 
temporary configuration so I could get back on the air. I have lots of 
boxes to unpack yet.

On August 13th, I was able to participate in the 6 meter opening and 
managed my first 2 contacts in Oklahoma via FT8 using my 6m vertical 
that was pretty easy to get back up.

Snagged Turkey, NC and Great Falls, VA from Oklahoma.  Great fun!



I now have an end-fed wire up and working that tunes 6m - 160m, and it 
is only about 10 - 15 feet high for now but I was able to have a 20m FT8 
QSO with GA, Don Deal, KK4E, today so it is working reasonably well.

If you need Oklahoma on any band or mode, let me know and we can try a 
sched.

So nice to be back on the air.  Keep chasing those DX!  And good luck in 
the September contest.

And maybe with some our your help I could start looking into setting up 
an EME set-up in Oklahoma.

73,

Bob Hensey
