Why not do Nye county as well. That might only take one QSO. hi-hi

My HOA-Stealth antenna is the "80-10 EF" from myantennas.com It is
strung on electric fence insulators along the top of the wooden fence,
about 1.8 meters high. It has a 90 deg bend in it about 1/3 of the
way down from the transformer. It actually works 160-10 with my
K3/100 + KAT3. It works surprisingly well, so much so that I bought a
second to take on county expeditions in the 7QP contest. I took First
in Pershing County this year with ~350 CW-only Q's. While that is
also "Last in Pershing County," that is not indicated on the
certificate. [:-) Next year I may be First in Lander County, who knows?

Friends, what would be a good end fed wire setup that will match well
with the internal KX3 ATU and cover, hopefully, 80, 40, and 30 meters?
I went out to my winter camp site, with two really tall pine trees,
and tried to experiment with a 9:1 UNUN, 135' radiator, and 35' of
RG8X. It was a total disaster. Best matches were on 20, 17, and 15
meters but only with 6.4:1 SWR. No match at all on the lower bands.
With my two trees, the radiator made for a perfect inverted-L shape.
What should I try next? I did try some pruning of the antenna but
quickly gave up due to the WX conditions.
Thanks
