Good Evening,
It was cool but not very wet this week. Good for all the hiking it
takes to retrieve and rebuild an antenna. It is a doublet with one leg
a few inches shorter than the other. A portable spar pole was not
lowered as the loggers moved it around the mountain. It was tall enough
to sever my 14 ga. THHN 40 feet above the road. I use green wire and it
is very hard to see against the fir and hemlock. Instead of running it
in a straight line one leg points east and the other leg points north.
There is a decided difference between my two antennas. I'll try a few
A/B checks tomorrow to see which one works best for either band. The
two legs are not level but they do parallel the ground.
Please join us on:
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
