Hey, Junior:
Are you going to be around on Saturday?
Maybe we could do a 20-meter test before the 40-meter round table later
Saturday afternoon.
Just let me know.
If not, I'm sure I'll talk to you on at least one of the nets this week-end,
although 40 might be a little short now in the late afternoons at this time
of the year.

Danny and all:
Just got on the air--20 meters around 14.250, and had a nice qso with a ham
near Clearwater, FL. I used the Alpha Delta DXCC antenna, and my RFI was
gone, using the Heil mic and foot switch, and even the processor in the
TS480.
SWR's look reasonable on most bands with both the Windom and DXCC. Windom
even tunes now on 160 using the auto tuner in the TS480.
So, definite progress has been made today.
Will do some more experimenting tomorrow night and Saturday, and look
forward to the 40-meter round table Saturday afternoon.
