Thanks to that tip I wandered down to the shack at 0630 local and managed my second N5J QSO, this time on 7.027.  My earlier one had been on 30 meters.

Not an ATNO - I had one other Jarvis QSO 24 years ago, on 20 meters.

Yes - worked you and Dennis from Fayetteville and I think a couple other ADXAers.  Dennis, Chuck had you by about 10 - 15 dB.  I would tell Chuck I was QRP 😀

N5J will be QRT around 11:00 AM Monday (today).  I am scheduled to be on from 6:00AM to 8:00AM this morning.  Not sure what band yet.  Looking like it may be 40m.  Lots of interference from other stations.  

Much better plan would have been to have a RX Vertical about a thousand feet away and all stations listen on that one vertical.  Stations are spread out over a few hundred feet but when you may have FT8 on same band and everyone listening on their TX antenna it’s not good.

No paddle or I would have said Hi.  I don’t like CTRL K to type a message.

I worked them on 160,80,40,30,20,17,15,10 from home (high SWR using tuner on 30 and 17m bands) and 160,80,40,20,15,10 from ZF9CW using remote to that station.  Lots easier from ZF.

Going to make a fan dipole for 30, 17 and 12 in the next few days or weeks.

I am pretty lonely operating N5J on 21027.  Come work me.
