TopBand: Sunday morning in Guernsey

[Mike Sloan]

Listened more than participated....  Suprised a few.

Reverted to the 1/4 sloper a couple of days ago and added two 120 ft
elevated radials between 5 to 8 ft high.  Will add another but can't get
any out in a staight line. Would a third be better under the sloper, I
wonder, or behind it?  The two run away at right angle for some 20/30
feet and then parallel.  SWR remains at 1.5:1.

Following stations here quite late this morning:-

		0750z	KC1XX		5/5
		0800z	W3LPL		5/3
		0806z	VE3EJ		5/4
		0831z	CI9DH		5/5
		0839z	FP/KG8CO	5/9
		0843z	K8MD		5/5		
		0850z	CI9DH		Still 5/5
		0900z	KC1XX		now 5/4 calling CQ VE.

Called all of them but only worked FP/KG8CO at a very nice 5/9 both
ways.

Rejoined the family at 0900z.

Hope to see some of you in the next few days.

Best 73

Mike
