Ok.....today I finally got off my backside and put my HF long wire loop back up.

I decided that if I did not do it today, I probably would not get around to it for a couple of weeks.


After I completed the hook up...I called a fellow I knew on the 11 meter band to check it out locally.
The copy was fine and I cleared with him to call my friend out in Tennessee.

We tried 40 meters and I could copy him but the copy was weak.

Switching to 75 meters running stock radio power the copy was much better.

Glad to find it is working well and hopefully we will not get to many more bouts of high wind.


Q5,

Thanks,
