Subject: [SECC] NAQP SSB W4IX
I was not planning on being around for this one, got home on
Friday from an 10 week road trip and had to build the entire station including
putting up rough wire antennas for 40,80 and 160. ( looks like the storms
knocked down all my wires while I was away ) . Just could not get anything
going on 20 meters and spent too much time S&Ping on 20 and 15 when I
should have been running on 40 meters...Any ways it was fun as usual..80 was
tough, 160 antenna sucked, and it seemed that the small inv v at 35 feet for 40
meters was the only antenna that rocked...73's and thanks for the Q's...John

Was on the road for 10 weeks, before I left I tore the shack down to get some
work done in the room so when I got back on Thursday, I deciced to set
everything up for NAQP SSB. This included getting some rough antennas up for
the low bands. Well all did as well as expected. 40 meters did great for a
small Inv. V at 35 feet. Just cannot get anything going from this QTH on 20
meters....Oh well, just like getting on to enjoy this madness we all cant get
away from..hi hi. 73's for now, going back out on the road Monday....John
