[ADXA] KH1 Baker Island

[Dennis Schaefer]

That was me on 12 SSB.  K5UR also worked him, and I think Jim got through
OK.  I have a 12/17 meter Force 12 antenna on a  tower close to the house
and the street and the noise level is horrible.  I ended up using the C3
that has a 4:1 SWR on 12M and ran only about 300 watts.   It's about 100 ft
from the house and noise is not a problem.  I need to do something, maybe
let the C3 be the receive antenna and transmit on the F-12.  Or solve the
noise, but there are too dang many modems, routers, computers, etc nowdays.

So far, I have them on 20, 17, and 15 CW, 20, 17, and 12 SSB, and 20, 17,
and 15 FT8.  I guess I'm not much of an early riser - no low band contacts.

73,
Dennis, W5RZ
