Well, at any rate, I think I might be able to try 60 meters here,
although I'm not sure how efficient my Alpha Delta DXCC antenna will be on
that band.
I was pleasantly surprised that the TS590 internal auto-tuner tuned the
antenna on the involved frequencies, which convinces me that I probably can
do even a little better with my Tentec 238A manual tuner.
Will at least be interesting.
