[NLRS] My plans

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Last time I tried to post there it didn't like my old Firefox browser.

My plans are to be on 6m, 2m, and 432 from home with 2m and 432 beams 
fixed looking east because the rotor has quit. The 6m antenna is a 21' 
long dipole that has worked from New England, to Florida, Georgia, 
Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, 
Montana, Washington, and British Columbia during great 6m band openings. 
Its not rotatable but the long length does cause lobes near the wire 
direction.

The 2m beam is only 5 elements and has a broad pattern and I have worked 
W0UC and KA0RYT with it pointed east in contests past but its kind of 
hidden behind a Morton Building to the north of the beam and that makes 
working twin cities on 2m difficult. Someday maybe I'll get the antennas 
bigger and on a tower with a working rotor. Otherwise Iowa activity has 
been rather slim recent years.

73, Jerry, K0CQ EN32GH.
