[NLRS] 2304...It's alive!

[aduhawk at comcast.net]

After a few unsuccessful tries, I am hearing the K3SIW/9 beacon in EN52 very well.  My baby looper brings it in at about S7 on the stingy IC275's meter.

The beacon is about at 350 degrees.  With this antenna it is gone at 270 degrees, so I guess that we'll really have to peak up on the lower bands!

We have company coming this week, and the ham shack is in the living room, so my superflex and the rest of the haywire look will have to be put back into the closet. But this bodes well for pre-contest QSOs with K2DRH, KC9BQA (40 miles north of Milwaukee) the man himself K3SIW and any other 2304 equipped station to the west of EN61av.

I'm excited! 73, Tim K0PG
