posticon Re: Bit of practical today


Don't know if I should say but my Moxon has mysteriously grown to just under 20 feet wide now making it resonant on 17 metres.

I'm sorry I know I gave in too easily but this current sun spot desert has driven me into regaining my old B licence call and finally DX hunting on HF.

I didn't join in the scrum for K5D as I still have to stop myself calling CQ 11 and it's true that at the moment I can only work 17 with my monoband antenna and 100 watts but Russia,Cyprus,Bolivia,Cuba and the USA from mid morning until 4:30 in the afternoon on a first go have almost satisfied my DX appetite for the month.....maybe year!

In conclusion good luck Paddy and if I can help you with a Moxon at the new location then no problem mate,Dave.
