[ADXA] Check out W5RZ on pskreporter!!!

[Dennis Schaefer]

Thanks, Randy.  The results were pretty amazing.  Whatever anyone thinks of
FT8, that mode plus tools like PSKReporter are excellent for evaluating
things.

The pennant is among trees, but I thought I had a clear spot.  As I pulled
out the pointy end, small branches kept grabbing, and it ended up like a
rough looking right triangle instead of a pennant.  I tried to put the null
where I thought the main noise source was (South), and it appears to work.


 Two JA’s were copied this morning.  Last night, most of Europe plus Kuwait
came in.  34 countries in all since last night.

Now to see if I can work anything with just 100 watts!

I think it will also work very well on 80, so I’m going to try to get from
96 to 100 on that band.

Randy helped a lot with this project, and I appreciate it.

73,
Dennis/RZ
