First CQWW CW 160 with new inverted L.
First CQWW CW 160 where I actually worked more than 3 or 4 countries.
I got up at 1:00 a.m. this morning and had a ball working DX stations.
I am on a small city lot, 80' x 120'. I managed to get up a vetical wire 50' on
a tree on the west end of my property (actually the tree is on my neighbors
property). Plastic box at the base with a var. cap. The 110 foot horizontal
section points northeast and the end is in a high maple tree (40 feet up). I
have 30 radials equally(?) spaced 180 degrees to the east of tree. Radials are
in back out of the house, front of house. In other words, the radials are
wrapped around the house.
Seems to work o.k. Maybe next year, I'll see if the neighbor will let me put a
dozen over on his side. Don't want to get pushy, yet.
Amazing what you can do on 160 when your space challenged.
Bob, W1EQ
