[Elecraft] [K3S] WSJT-X MSK144

[Randy Lake]

On the east coast 99% of your contacts should be on 2nd/odd (if calling
CQ). If you are on the east coast and you are TX on 1st be aware of who is
trying to listen locally while you are TX'ing. Just listen and be
considerate.
O another note I would orient the AO-50 horizontal. I used to use a pair of
them here in Keene.
Reach out if you have more questions !
