K9W was a well running machine. Wish I could say the same about this inverted L.
It worked great on 160 and 40M at the beginning of the expedition and worked em on these bands. Tried on 80M and higher frequencies just no luck hearing them then along try to work em. Propagation maybe? My antenna, most likely. Maybe antennas oxidized from the salt spray and antenna efficiency drops. Seams to be common on thing happening on some of these expeditions. Lets see, I worked K9W on 2 bands and was in the log. I worked K9W 5 more times on the other bands that I needed them on, Pirates.
