[ARRL-OK] 40 meters TEST at 10:00am CST 17 NOV 2006

[jpk5lad at cox.net]

Well Mark -- I was mobile during the 10-11 time and 
tried to listen to the frequency mobile but noise 
(QRN and my ignition noise) were just too much.  I 
was home at about 11 and I've been listening to the 
frequency for about 40 minutes and I'm not hearing 
any activity.  I gave you a call once but received no 
response.

I've tried several antennas I have here, a trapped 
dipole at about 25 feet, a vertical, and a 40M 
Hamstick dipole like you're using but at about 32 
feet.
