[ADXA] FP5KE On 60 Meters, FT8

[Charles McKenzie]

Yall aren’t gonna believe this but! I go to 60 and hear them well on my 75,80 antenna, not on the 160, I have been using the 160 on 60, swr reasonable, both rigs built in tuner tuned the antenna! Worked them but swr on 160 was horrible ? Hit me the tower was lowered, all I raised yesterday was the 120 ft the 89 ft tower supports the inverted vees the wires for 80 and 160 are on the ground, how I managed to work St. Pierre and Miquelon with the antenna laying on the ground I don’t know! Usually dumb things with radio and antennas is costly, this time I was lucky . Been having a blast with E44om and fp5ke we have worked E44om on 12 thru 40 so far and fp5ke on 17-60 with 17 and 40 on ssb

Thanks Steve.  I knew I needed St. Pierre & Miquelon on 10M but I forgot all about 60M.  Got a +00 at 0110Z.
