i have done the wspr thing, and I can get the beacons all the way to
Australia, I have not heard any aussis on the line. I guess I can try
some ft8 with them. I will give this antenna a thorough inspection to
see what It can do before I raise the next one.

You hear them but do you work them? The WSPR comment is worth a study
to do that. The Beacon newsletter has an article about WSPR and how
to do it in the Sept 2022 edition.
GL..... you are doing just fine.....Rick W5RH

Been a ham 4 month, so far I can regularly hear and TX to
illinois, NY, NJ,NC georgia alabama, missouri and Fla, I
occasionally hear california, cuba mexico, have my antennas been
directional to the east coast, are there just more hams in these
areas? are the various metal roofs power lines and other factors
in my yard pointing my TX/RX in that direction, have I not
listened long enough? I hear these people but rarely who they
are talking to. mostly I hear the guys with booming 1.5k
boosters. (they always tell you) are my antennas just not up to
the quality yet?
thanks for your thoughts,
