John:
For some reason I had a hard time getting 80 meter cards confirmed. I sat
at 99 confirmed for about nine months without getting that last
confirmation. Then I got ten new cards on the same day. Yes, I only have
an Inverted-V with the apex at about 35 feet for both 80 and 40 thanks to
Katrina. I know what it is like with poor antennas on those bands. When I
build my new house I would like to load up my tower for 160 and 80 and use
the K9AY pendent for receiving. The apex of my 160 meter antenna is at 80
feet and it does fairly well state-side but I have a hard time hearing DX.
Keep up the good work and it will come. Good Hunting!
