Spent all of last week repairing all
beverages which run thru thick woods,
after serious snow/ice storm.. Got all
repairs done on Friday afternoon just
before contest (another possible ice
storm next week )! Ugh ...
Spent
Friday night mostly S&P'ing, but on
Saturday night, when condx to EU
seemed vastly improved, really got
interested in putting in a better
effort.
Excellent signals from EU and
So Am.,and except for some periods of
powerline noise, band was very
quiet..
This is a far cry from back in
the days of (Loran)power limits,
roofing filters, and pre beverage
receiving antennas on 160 meters...
We've come a long way !
