> Today, we tried out the new Butternut antenna. There were 4 stations
> listening. W2RS, N5XZ, KC2PZ and myself. W2RS was able to copy him better
> than he had in the past and make a QSO. However, for me, I was barely able
> to hear Ed over the noise. We then moved to 10m and tried the test there.
> All four of us made a contact with him on 10m. We then moved to 20m. I did
> not hear him at all. N5XZ and W2RS were able to make a contact here.
> This test means the antenna is at least working and propagation was not.
> Unfortunately, on 20m, others jumped in and we were not able to test the
> antenna any further. I did work a JA an hour earlier on 15m that was 59+.
> Thank you to some of the sponsors for P5 operation

> Ed should be back on the air in several weeks, maybe sooner. He is going
to
> build the Butternut Vertical and test it. However, due to the severe cold
> weather, it might take him awhile to mount the antenna on the roof.
> Operations should be on 15m phone. The Bencher Keyer is going to be tested
> and so is Ed's keying ability. When he is comfortable, CW operations will
> begin and the band will be announced. So, watch here for his operating
> schedule.
