Hi Jim,
Even I heard you once, from the deepest darkest Los Angeles. About 0825 you
were calling someone I couldn't hear while you were Q5. It gave me a bit of a
thrill knowing you were QRP, and was a good indication that I'm hearing better
(though still poorly) this year.

Fortunately participation is not mandatory for those who have had enough.
Given the winter stew was a thunderstorm extravaganza for most of the
midwest, another shot at it prior to spring would be attractive for many.
April may be a bit late to have good low noise conditions.

Yes. They are cheap and I had no idea of what the lightning risk would be
here.
I've had to do work on the active antennas a few times so I know ground
level lighting currents are around. But never had a problem with the
beverage. Maybe I'm just lucky.

If you are going to make the order, consider using several in parallel to

I think a majority of it is JT65A, but as guys discover that JT9 uses so
much less frequency they will migrate to it soon. There is a lot of activity
every night so come join us. I recently worked VP8ALJ in Falkland Island
with 40 watts and I never did that on 160m CW/SSB

It might be fun to drive around Culver City for a while and find some of those
old buildings. The houses are a lot closer together now, but most of the
originals are probably still there.
