[Elecraft] ECN 20M session for 30 July from VY2/W1OH

[geoff allsup]

Well, I tried!    VY2/W1OH here on vacation east of Charlottetown, PEI. 
    Have the KX1 (#1317) at about 4 watts plus a real antenna:  80M 
doublet fed with twinlead at about 55 feet, and facing west about 100 
yards from saltwater!   Unfortunately, the band was changing rapidly, I 
  guess, at our sunset (fabulous sunset, BTW!  Always great here!) . 
One moment Kevin was reasonably strong, and had  just got my call, I 
think, then poof!  QSB took signals right out and I  didn't hear more 
than a couple of peeps after that - oh, well!    Great fun to try from 
Prince Edward Island, especially after a weekend with a bit of IOTA then 
the FOBB contest!

For some pictures and a writeup of my stay at the same place and setup 
(but pre-KX1) last summer (2005), see my website:
