Rats! I worked all day having set up my Buckmaster 7 Band OCF today after
having taken two weeks to construct my tennis ball antenna launcher. The
Buckmaster how is sub optimal because I had to connect 2 50' coaxes and
while the apex of the V is high enough and the ends of both arms were easily
elevated more than 10 feet, and the end points with downward slopes of the
max 20 degrees, the arms had to be angled 70 degrees horizontally and thus
not linear and so probably it is compromised some what, but it really is the
best I could do with my lot. Haven't tried an end fed. At least I won't have to
put and take down my Buddipole Vertcial, plus I enjoy the multibands 10-80. My
SWR was 1.3 at 80 m, which was actually one of the best, and certainly no
problem for my KPAX100 ATU.
Anyway, I could certainly hear those usurpers who were on 3.784. (Italian?)
but the proof is in the ability to TX.
My suggestion would be from now on to list a minimum of three frequencies,
i.e., two defaults.
BTW, my FCC license is up for renewal next month. I looked into it and tried
changing my address from Natchez MS to here in the coast of NC. Is the site
working? Is there a fee? I couldn't figure it out. Government. Agency. What do
you expect?

Good conditions on 80M tonight. However, there was a conversation on
3784 this evening, so we were able to move down to 3781 kHz. Your net
control was having antenna(?) issues again this evening, and ended up
having to run 100W barefoot, which worked out OK since there is very
little QRN on 80M in the winter.
Sorry if we missed you this evening, with the last minute frequency
change and all.
Hope to see you next week, and tell your friends!
73,
