[ADXA] 7P8LB Last Day/Night Today

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

FYI from Rune, LA7THA, the 7P8LB Team Leader:

Hi All, Last night was good on TB to EU however we worked only one NA 
East
Coast and nil JA`s. QSO count last night was approx, 260 and total count 
is
416 on TB. We will start disassembling the HEX beams and one vertikal 
for
30/40 meter band this evening before SS. One antenna for 30/40, 80 and 
the
160 antenna will be taken down just after SR tomorrow Saturday 16th. The
"new" BEV antenna was installed approx 45 meter from the powerline then 
the
wire was just laid on top of the cornfield and terminated at the 
opposite
end with a 270ohm resistor. This performed very well and the powerline
noise is gone. Many challenges at this location in terms of weather and
lightning. It has really been only two good days on TB however I am 
happy
with the result so far. Lets hope for good proppagation to JA and NA
tonight and we will do our outmost to get more qso`s from this part of 
the
world. Tomorrow we tear down the last antennas and then 6-7 hrs bus ride 
to
Johannesburg then back home on Sunday. Thanks to the team, LA9VPA, 
HA5AO,
ZS4TX and F5JTV for info and help during the planning and to LADXG for 
good
support.
