Hi Guy, I am chasing down the modeling software to try and get the best results I can on my small lot and sandy soil. I am not really competing against other hams but against my own past performance and experiences. What other hams are doing gives some idea of what might be possible.
Meanwhile I am going to toss as much wire into the trees as I can get up there along with low or on-the-ground counterpoise and hope for the best. I'll get some QSOs for sure but more will be better. An end fed wire and a bazooka were two of the best (multiband) antennas I used before. The bazooka is directly proportional to the wavelength and I did mention my small lot. I'm trying to get my wire up before we run out of operating events for the year. 73, Bill KU8H _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
