Hams have a lot to celebrate here in California, USA. Of course, everyone
knows its home to Elecraft. However, this year there is a special reason for
the Hams of Oceanside, CA to celebrate: We fought the city to stop an
ordinance that would limit ham antennas to 36 feet plus impose a number of
onerous conditions. Part of our presentation to the city included the 2009
CQP spreadsheet (look under "resources" at www.cqp.org <
http://www.cqp.org/>
) showing how HF operation requires different bands at different times.
This data plus a simple discussion on "ground effects" and its relation to
antenna height won the day. Thanks NCCC.
BTW, I hope all Elecrafters will join in the fun this October 1st & 2nd.
73, Fred, AE6IC
