Default DXing with the Drake

Technical Institute was stupid enough to hire without due diligence, wrote:

Using the SW8 tonight to DX with my eaves long wire, working well. I can
compare it with the Sat 800. Looks like I better check the Sat 800 long wire
tomorrow. I think it may have a small limb on it. Takes a little thinking to
tune the Drake after using the 800 so much.

I have a double yo-yo hung in the eaves and it does not work as well as the
Longwire-L-Sloping. I have some copper wire and I need to hang some flower
pots up there so maybe I'll put it up with a east/west. Can't get a slope
but I will work in some "L".

Doing the BBC & RCI great. I can move my tap over to the long wire but I
think it has a high ground.

Guess I'll go to bed and worry about it tomorrow.

Burr,

Do you get better reception from the SW8 than from the Sat800? I've
got the Grundi and been giving some consideration to acquiring the
Drake. Is it up step uf from the 800?


"Is it up step uf from the 800?"

Wow!

And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical Institute.
They've hired at least one dufus who once claimed to have a PhD, and who knows,
there may be more dufi there.
