[NvHam] Antenna

Thanks for refreshing me.

BTW, worked the CQ DX contest last weekend. Managed to run up 117 =
countries but 40 meters is a black hole for me. Everything is sucked in =
but nothing radiates out. How do you like your XM240. Need to start =
thinking about a good 40 meter antenna.

Saw your truck in parking lot at last RARA meeting, ducked into bathroom =
and when I came out you were history. Did have a nice meeting with those =
there. Went to a place called Weed and had lunch with everyone. Worked =
the Pennsylvania QSO party on 20 meters all the way back to Elko. One =
county hunter picked up Humboldt, Lander, Eureka and Elko counties in 5 =
hours.

73,
Dave, W7GK
