Back on the air
Submitted by n8vw on Sun, 10/05/2008 - 13:36
I'm finally back on the air. Finished getting the 80m zepp back up in the tree in the front yard and strung over the house. Had to go up on the roof to accomplish the last part. One branch from a tree on the side of the house is preventing me from pulling the antenna to full height, but I will fix that soon with some sling-shot and rope Fujitsu. I also put back up the 40m vertical and connected it to the chain-link fence for a ground system. It works, but signals are down 2 s-units compared to the zepp.
It is nice to be back in radio-land.

Sweepstakes
cw only. My head-set is up at k8mk's qth from a ssb sprint oh so long ago. I will be on in SS, depending upon my schedule I may go to a real station and operate. If not, qrp from home is always a blast.
Sweepstakes
Congratulations! Maybe Sweepstakes in November? Are those 42 SSB Qs or mixed mode?

42 q's just playing around here and there. Zepp works great, 40m vertical as is, so so. The vertical really needs a good ground system, like any vertical.
