Small correcton - ECN

Albers-2
Kevin,
Actually I am in NC, not GA this week. Heard you fairly well but not many others. And of course Tom

Tom,
Your 20m beam has great front to back ratio (or maybe front to side, or whatever). Your sig here was well over S-9 at max and barely audible at min. So you'll be glad to know it's still functioning as a beam, and not as a top-loaded piece of coax or somthing. And I'm still wondering whether it was my sending or the propagation that morphed my NC  into GA <grin>

Many thanks for the report. Using a Bencher SkyHawk tribander @
73'... works better than ANY previous tribander I've ever owned.
Really sturdy, too.

You took a really DEEP (e.g. down to pure ESP copy) when you gave
your QTH, so I (wrongly) assumed you'd sent GA... my copying error,
certainly NOT your fist! The QRN out here in the midwest last night
was pretty horrid, and I was having problems copying just about
everyone on 40M... there were a few who were decent copy, but
generally, it was difficult at best.

73,

Tom
