[ILQSO] Re: AA9DY -- JODA Portable Ops Update

[Wayne Wagner]

Made improvements on the band coverage.  Replaced coax and wrapped part of it around a large diameter steel pipe near the feedpoint.

80m --  <3800kHz is OK
40m -- I think I got it all now
20m -- not a problem
15m -- got it back
10m -- got it back

I will be doing more SSB than CW.  My CW is way out of practice, so please be patient.

Time to wolf down some pizza before GO TIME.

My off the shelf G5RV is giving me problems this year or maybe it is my coax...  Will check things out in the morning.  Too dark outside right now to safely work on it..  

SWR is lousy on this ant.  Tuner in rig is only able to help so much.

Limited to...

80m CW - OK
80m SSB - only over range of 3600-3650

40m SSB  ONLY (CW portion horrible, ant resonant tooo high)

20m ALL OK

Will update in the morning, if I can figure out what is wrong.
