Good Evening,
Twenty meters had deep QSB and summer QRN. But it was fun to hear
you all. I received more email than I did check ins though. I'll work
on that antenna this week and test it next Sunday. I'll build it close
to resonance around 7.1 MHz. From what I have read the radiation
pattern will be almost circular. My inverted V's have a nearly circular
pattern too which helps. I'm not sure if I can use it on 20 meters
too. More coax would be nice; then I could test more antennas.
The comet is fading now. I'm struggling against the evening
clouds. By the time the sky is dark enough to see the comet well the
haze has come in. Viewing Mercury on each apparition was normal while I
was living in Albuquerque. I think I have seen it once since I moved
back to the PNW. Winter constellations are best here since the clouds
form below me and block any lights.

Hopefully there won't be too much heavy weather this week. Summer
thunderstorms form tornadoes too often. However, the crops need the
rain. I remember lying in bed trying to sleep in the hot, humid nights
of the Midwest. Instead of the mantle clock I could listen to the corn
growing about fifty yards away.
Until next week 73,
