Good Evening,
Conditions were poor to OK on both bands. QSB was slow and
moderately deep. Summer storms were quite evident on 40 meters.
Hopefully someone is getting rain, not heat lightning. Hot and dry in
most places. Here there is heavy dew from the morning fog. It may be
enough to stave off any fire danger for tonight's incendiary displays.
The booming has begun.
My mystery bird is being elusive. I found one recording with a
similar song. However, my bird is in the background, not the one
singing lead. I've listened to each of the mimicking birds with no
luck. I'm glad I made the recording because he has not returned after
our recent heatwave. The bird songs and the bees make a good background
track for a number of uses. While Audacity can be used to create
multi-tracked recordings, I use it only to record and equalize. I use
the Openshot video editor for the final cuts. That way I can add
titles, stills, and moving images.

Proposed antennas: resonant inverted Vs for 20 and 40 meters plus an
inverted L over a ground plane.
How do I connect all of the radial wires so it is not a mess apt to
corrode? I've seen metal disks with multiple bolts around the
circumference. How about soldering them to a copper loop instead? I
could put this radial manifold into a plastic container with weep
holes. That will decrease the rate of corrosion. Any hints?
