Hi all - Conditions looking better as Kevan said; worked the C21 &  BD7 
last night which is a real treat for me.
 
Folks that I know will be on the air include WW4LL, KU8E, and K4BAI  from 
Bonaire as PJ4Z, Alan W4ANT, Paul NN4F, Dave WN4AFP, Jeff W4DD  (hopefully), 
WW4SF Kevan (N4XL) and KT4ZB (me)...Anyone else???  Hope  to work you all.
 
Wait a minute - what's this WW4 prefix stuff, Kevan? You just can't  change 
calls like that too get a better mult; and now adding more  radials?  Like 
that's going to do any good in that rocky SC ground you  have. But again, in 
the spirit of Ham friendship, you can borrow my  analyzer. Also, you may 
think you have limited some of my so  called "advantages", but, don't forget, 
I sit on a 1,000 acres of salt water  marsh. I'll be ready as soon as I get 
my cooler of beer iced down (my secret  weapon).
 
Wishing everyone many QSOs and even more fun - Jere, KT4ZB

Good hunting and luck to all. Jere, wish you well and hope to work  you 
too.  Bands seemed open last night so maybe good conditions after  all. I'm 
real curious to see how your loop plays for you.


Took the day off to add some radials to the raised vertical and get  some 
rest before the start. Grabbed my MFJ-269 and it is dead. Funny, it  was just 
sitting on the shelf in the shack. Factory Tech says I am SOL. Oh  well. 
I'll add some random lengths and hope for the best. It is only 8 ft  off the 
ground is for 40/80. I'm not smart enough to find an  easy way to tune them 
without a lot of work (the antenna is 200  ft from the rig and I'm alone 
here) now that the MFJ died. Read  somewhere that someone was saying (I think 
Tom, W8JI) that random  lengths will still help if antenna is that low 
relative to  wavelength because the ground still affects them. It isn't like a real 
 elevated radial system when it is that low. 


No talk here on SECC about a team. I'm also a member of the Swamp Fox  
Contest Group now. They were getting one up and needed another member so I  will 
be posting for them this time round. Will be using their club call of  
WW4SF. I figure with WW4LL having fun in PJ4 land that may  help remove one of 
Jere's advantages over me!
