[Elecraft] OTish: the planets & OQRPP antennas

[Rod N0RC]

I wanted to write to all of you, and share a link to a story about the
upcoming planet alignment,
http://www.space.com/spacewatch/planets_align_020503.html; and some
useful maps at:
http://www.space.com/images/planets_guide_020503_02.gif But then I
realized it would be of topic so I won't.

Instead I just say: Listen for me MON night in the ARS sprint. There
has been lot's of talk lately about short vertical and other portable
antennas. I plan to set up my PW-1 SuperAntenna (same as MP-1 at
www.superantennas.com). Driving it will be my K2 at 5W powered by a
3000lb battery! (see
http://www.qsl.net/n0rc/foxhound_car/foxhound_mobile.html). So here's
a chance to evaluate with you our ears how such an antenna performs. I
plan on working 20 & 40m maybe even 15.
