Howard:
I understand completely. ... Point well taken.
It was just good, and a bit surprising, to hear the favorable signal report
from me in central lower Michigan to the Outer Banks of North Carolina on 40
meters late last Saturday afternoon.
I will continue to test the antenna for sure, and work toward getting it
higher up in the air as well, at least in the center.
73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
