TopBand: There is still hope

Mon, 18 Nov 1996 22:57:21 -0000

After trying since more than one month with my low profile antenna (inv-vee 60ft)
to here anybody else on top (except Mike,VK6HD and Steve,VK6VZ), today 
was the first sunrise opening for me.
I've heard with my 3el-20m-Quad as 'short loop antenna' - it works exceptionally
good compared to the other one!!

Will try to be active again now between 21:30 .. 22:30 starting in
the CQ WWDX and then later on during the season.
