06/25/2002 | W4WS MORE TESTS ON THE 65' SHUNT FED TOWER (WITH 5 STRINGS OF XMAS LIGHTS ON IT- MAYBE THAT HELPED?) AND ROTATABLE RCV LOOP- I'M HOOKED ON THIS LOOP. QRP REALLY TEACHES YOU THE ART OF S & P- THANKS FOR STRAINING TO PICK ME UP- BTW- SEVERAL BIG PLAYERS NEED TO WATCH THE BAND EDGE- EACH TIME I WENT DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BAND I HEARD A NEW STATION WITH THEIR SIGNAL SHOWING UP A SOLID KC BELOW 1800- DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR THE SSB STATIONS AT 1850 KEYING DOWN TO ANNOY THE CONTEST? VERY SURPRISING ON 160- SEE YOU IN THE 10 METER CONTEST- -- W4WS
