[HIham] Summary of SCD RACES/ARES Operations

[Ron Hashiro]

Interesting.  When we tested the Buddipole back in December, it worked 
fine with Norm, NH7UA.

Maybe it was just propagation, perhaps you were near metal, etc.

You're free to add additional antennas and even preinstall them, as the 
situation indicates.

My favorite happens to be a Yaesu FT-817 barefoot on a Hustler 40m 
mobile antenna.....still don't know what it worked so well with Norm, 
but it did.  I still have the amp to bring it to 50 watts if needed.
