Well, I tried! VY2/W1OH here on vacation east of Charlottetown, PEI.
Have the KX1 (#1317) at about 4 watts plus a real antenna: 80M
doublet fed with twinlead at about 55 feet, and facing west about 100
yards from saltwater! Unfortunately, the band was changing rapidly, I
guess, at our sunset (fabulous sunset, BTW! Always great here!) .
One moment Kevin was reasonably strong, and had just got my call, I
think, then poof! QSB took signals right out and I didn't hear more
than a couple of peeps after that - oh, well! Great fun to try from
Prince Edward Island, especially after a weekend with a bit of IOTA then
the FOBB contest!
For some pictures and a writeup of my stay at the same place and setup
(but pre-KX1) last summer (2005), see my website:
