[Elecraft] Antennas an opinion W9VNE

[KENT TRIMBLE]

Which is why we Midwesterners are always at a disadvantage against you 
brethren in the Rockies and the Appalachians -- on two scores:

1)  Height above sea-level is greater on a mountaintop than in a corn 
field (didn't know that, did you).

2)  Temperatures are cooler and humidity is lower on a mountaintop than 
in a corn field (another revelation).

But we like challenges.

On occasion, a buddy and I have been known to win QRP multi-op honors 
from prairie picnic tables on blistering summer afternoons, and a decade 
or so ago saw our club win 3rd in the nation in a similar QRP 1A Battery 
Field Day.

But who's bragging.  Fun has many definitions.

73,
