The propagation has not been the best for Iraq. At my QTH 40 meters was by far the best band. It was easy on the full size Telrex monobander at 110 feet. I worked them on both SSB & CW. I tried them tonight on 30 meters with no luck loading up the Telrex with an antenna tuner. They QRTed as propagation peaked to North America. 73, John, W4NU
