[QCWA] Slightly off topic, antenna sharing.

Previously, I had mentioned my antenna sharing project.
The antenna is up. A 122 foot long terminated folded dipole.

Results in the broadcast band have been outstanding. Instead
of 2-3 AM stations, I'm hearing stations across the entire band.

Preliminary tests on 20 meter PSK31 are quite promising as well.
Casual listening has turned up stations in Bogota Columbia, Italy,
Hungary and New Zealand.

Technically, my project is complete. I have accomplished the goal
of a wide band receiving system with multiple outputs for use
with 4 receivers at the same time.

Of course, I would like to transmit as well. so I ordered the requisite
balun and termination with enough of a power rating to do just that.

Should have the results of that in by next week some time.

And yes, I have an A-B switch to go from receive only to single
transmit/receive capability.
