I will be using the Eagle "portable" for the first time in the WPX contest 
this weekend. 

I have set up a temporary antenna up the mountain near our summer house and 
hope that I might possibly clear the mountain towards stateside better than 
I do from down here in the valley.  Hope I can work some of you guys. 

  

I will be QRV on 40, 20, 15, & 10 with the Eagle barefoot. 

(so don't turn your RF Gain too far down, boys!). 

  

The antenna is a new design which theoretically works these 4 bands without 
a matchbox. 

It is a simple wire antenna with no traps, no coils, no tricks , no 
gimmicks, just wire, balun and coax. 

The computer says it works. 

The antenna analyzer says it works. 

Let's see what the Eagle thinks of it. 

  

Hpe C U in the contest.
