Re: Topband: Wed Activity Night....

2020-11-03 Thread W3HKK
The past couple of nights have been fair. Hrd an LZ1 quite well but he
didnt copy me enough to get my complete call sign ( 700w to INV-L at
52 ft + 26 coiled radials here). Then Sun night worked a flurry of
G3'PQA, G3XHQ, G3OLB, plus 2-3 more in the noise I couldnt quite fish
out. 
Then ON7PQ, and in the morning VK3HJ. Several other sigs were just
floating in and on the noise with long deep QSB.QRN was low last night
which was good since the signals were as well. But the guys down South
and along the East Coast reported strong copy on guys I could barely
read.

I have all my radials coiled up hanging on a walnut tree until I mow
the lawn one more time. Then I will unroll them and adjust the shunt
inductor to bring resonance back around 1820. 

Hope to see some of you on Wed.

 Conditions have been pretty good recently . . . had several calls
from
 pretty far west USA, as well as South America.

 So hope to work some of you on the band tomorrow night !
