I put the ball to a metal grinder and I could easily see an outer F
layer and then the E layer. I couldn't find a D layer, but it was dark
outside and there's not supposed to be a D layer at night. Neat how
antenna's can be manufactured to do that.

Just passed my tech and General on Sunday so I'll be on the bands as
soon as I find out my callsign and get an ionsphere for my antenna. I
destroyed the old one on the grinder and I hear you need a good
ionsphere to shoot good skip and hear far away stations.




So how'd you do on the CW portion of the test?
