Dan/W4NTI Dan, hope your skeds went well. What beam were you trying out? bb Didn't hear Dan. Hope he didn't get antenna advice from W3RV. ;^) I have had this particular antenna since 1974. I bought it when I was in Germany on my first tour. Put it up for a couple of years in Munford Alabama in the 80s. Replaced it with a homebrew monobander for 20. Sold the antenna, then bought it back. Repaired it after it hit the ground in a storm. Then drug it around with me for another couple of decades. Finally got a place to put it. Dan/W4NTI |

I've been dragging stuff around for a few years, and I'm real tired of living in a restricted neighborhood. By next summer I should have some real estate that's not 70'x120'. Best of Luck getting it working. |

Horsepucky Putzlet, your goofy excuses don't cut it. I'd kill for a 70' x 120' lot. No biggie though because I managed to pick up a 5BDXCC, 300+ confirmed and WAZs for both phone and CW from a 50'x 100' lot. And that was back in tube radio days for God's sake. AND not counting all the meg+ dx contest scores I churned out. Your problem is not your lot size, your problem is YOU. Bleh! Welp Kelly, I bought this home with the knowledge that it was in a restricted neighborhood. So my "goofy excuses" do "cut it." You on the other hand are known for your rules breaking. You started your amateur career as a self-admitted bootlegger, and you start field-day contests somewhat earlier than the contest rules allow for. And what you'd kill for is pathetic. I choose to -follow- the rules. You choose to break the rules. ;^) Best of Luck getting it working. Dan doesn't need luck but you will - lot size completely aside. w3rv Lot size isn't the deciding factor, see "restricted neighborhood." I guess you really can't fix stupid. |

Welp Kelly, I bought this home with the knowledge that it was in a restricted neighborhood. So my "goofy excuses" do "cut it." Bwaaahaha! Not. See below. You on the other hand are known for your rules breaking. You started your amateur career as a self-admitted bootlegger, Yeah right. Twelve years old and George heard my Model T Ford spark coil CW a block around the corner. BFD. Then comes your (mythical) shot at bootlegging in T5 . . and you start field-day contests somewhat earlier than the contest rules allow for. WTF are you talking about?? And what you'd kill for is pathetic. I choose to -follow- the rules. You choose to break the rules. ;^) How hard is it to avoid breaking the rules when you got no antennas to break the rules with ya DITZ? Do us all a big favor and "maintain yer current status". Best of Luck getting it working. Dan doesn't need luck but you will - lot size completely aside. w3rv Lot size isn't the deciding factor, see "restricted neighborhood." I guess you really can't fix stupid. The ultimate stupid is defined as a ham who knowingly moves into an antenna-restricted neighborhood. Apply for the award from the Darwin Society, you've earned it fair and square. . w3rv |

Since no one indicated they wanted a sked. I didn't make a transmission. And like I said heard the CQP going. Which reminds me. Break is over....back to the contest. Dan/W4NTI |

Toadie never showed at the time he said he'd be transmitting anyways.
No loss to ham radio in any case. Good luck in the contest. |

He is just full of it. I was trying out the new beam installation here. Beat the crap out of the wires. Made 363 QSO's and all but 7 counties in California. 47,736 was the score. Think this is the best I've done with the California QSO Party. Low Power (100w) by the way. Dan/W4NTI |
