[600MRG] Arizona

[Ed Gray W0SD]

The rain has arrived.  I did get the inverted "L" antenna up and the 
ground radials laid out.  The antenna is 135 feet long and it is a 
little over 40 feet high at each end.  It resonates at 481 khz so 
whenever  it stops raining I need to get it resonate at 474.2 khz.  
There are no trees here so it is a high as I can get it.

I could not figure out why my antenna analyzer was jumping all over the 
place and then I realized there are a large number of hams transmitting 
here.  At least 50 and probably a lot more.

Hopefully I will be on Tuesday night or Wednesday night with 40 watts.  
I will be using battery  power.  Generator quiet hours from 10 pm to 7 
am.  Assuming I get things up and going  Thursday or Friday night will 
be my last night.
