[Lowfer] VE7SL in EN90xn

[Michael Sapp]

Steve & All:  I did hear your 0500UTC top of hour CQ DE VE7SL VE7SL QSX  1808  es 3535.   Called you on 3535.

Thought I heard my call at one point around 0512, started sending calls and 429.   Did not hear VE7SL again until about

0528 calling a W7.  Then VE7SL back to CQ around 0530 to 0533 or so.   My HF vertical SWR decided to go nuts around 0525....

Time is wrong on capture below that was in the 0530 ~ 0533 time frame as I stopped ARGO to save the image and the clock

kept running while I went for the camera....

HF antenna issue seems to be a vacuum relay that switches my 160m base loading coil in/out. Coil be ice melt on the connections or

the relay soleniod does not like the 0F  temp......


Gave it my best shot, at least the new NW 307 degree azimuth EWE antenna is doing it's job.....
