[ADXA] New Member Standing for Ken, K5ALQ

[patw5vy at gmail.com]

Ken, K5ALQ, has provided updated DXCC standings information.  Ken typically
submits one DXCC application per year and provides his total after his
application has been processed.  Ken says it was a slow year for new DX for
him.  Lots of distractions and other things to deal with. He added almost 50
band counters to his Challenge total.

 

He has spent time refurbishing his antennas and has new boom to mast
hardware on his HF yagi.  The previous connection got loose and the antenna
freewheeled for a while and chewed up the feedline.  Ken has it pinned to
the mast now and has 7/8” Heliax to his HF yagi and ½” Heliax to his other
HF antennas.  He knows he’ll have minimal loss and hopes the Heliax will be
lower maintenance.  

 

Ken had a minor problem with his TenTec Titan-425 and found a replacement
and is back to QRO power. His used Titan is for sale on QTH.com.  Ken is
looking forward to improved band conditions and working some new ones.
Sounds like you are ready for Cycle 25 Ken.

 

73,

Pat, W5VY
