Comments:
Wore myself out mostly S&P'ing for the first day and went to bed still
needing ND and YT. Sunday the conditions seemed better, especially on 15m.
Rolled across KC0W for ND, he's a dink shot from out here. Much easier than the
hour I spent on VE3CX for ONN! When finishing up one of my S&P runs at the
high end of 15m, I found VE8EV. I was CQing on 20m with the beam at the time so
I gave him a shot on the 40m dipole I use for the 2nd rig's 15m antenna. Bingo!
Don't dismiss using a 40m dipole on 15m. At 60', it has surprising low angle
gain in four directions, one being north and the SWR is less than 2.5:1, easily
handled by the TS590's tuner.
This was my 48th SS on 55 years. I still enjoy it, the company is great!
thanks for the fun,
Dick, k4xu
