FB on the six meter QSOs. You really need a dedicated antenna for six to really enjoy the band. long wires work, but you need something better if you start to get serious.
Yes, BUT -- before I had a 6M antenna at my new QTH in W6, I had a pair of 80/40 fan dipoles up about 120 ft, fed with RG11. When 6M opened, I used them, switching between them on RX to see which heard the DX better and called on that antenna. With 100W, I made at least a dozen double-hop CW QSOs split between KH6 and W1/2/3/4, as well as a lot of single-hop Qs.
My 3-3el SteppIR with the added fixed element works better. :) 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
