[HCARC] Answers and More Questions IRT Kerry's Comments

[Bob Richie]

Thanks, Kerry, I always like hanging with guys smarter than I am because I tend to learn more. Also, if the AS2259 has an SWR of~10, I do not have a tuner that will overcome that. I was thinking 20 meters because of the density of traffic. If we test on 40 meters the 7290 traffic net is on every day and folks from all over check in on that.  But my point remains - try it and see if it works. If it works, is there any advantage to it?

Bob,

Pay attention!  20 meters is the wrong band for NVIS and that antenna.  40 meters is a better choice.  Outside of that, its a fun experiment.

I try to be friendly with the new guys, but you, on the other hand, are a fair target!

By the way, my betting is you won't be able to tell the difference between the AS2259, a simple dipole and a G5RV if they are all at the same height.

73,

Kerry
