Hi all,
Thanks to your help, everybody, AC8S is back on the air!
Well, at least I'm back on the air, at my friends station, up on the 8th floor!
I did what you told me, and sure shooten, it's back on the air. It's up 80 feet, the trap dipole for 80/40, and I worked 2 stations, 2 stations, on 20 of all bands!
The antenna's not the way I want it yet, because he's got more room on his balcony for me to string it, but at least for now, we're back on the air! I got 559 in Tx, and a 579, in Minnesota!
When my friend's room mate feels better, I'm working with him on restringing the antenna.
Now of course folks, there's also the alpha 1 that Buddy mentioned, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how people like that, whether the verticle, or the j-pole.
But this trap dipole is workin like heck on cw!
So, thanks, again, everybody, for the help! Now, I don't have to send the mfj 949E back!
Now, I'm gonna request a move up to the 10th floor myself, and my reason I'll put in the request letter, radio operating, for emergency communications!
73,
Trippy, ac8s
