[QCWA] Field Day

[Jeffrey D Angus]

I took advantage of it being Field Day this weekend to run some
comparison tests of the 125' Terminated Folded Dipole at the
shop vs the 102' doublet antenna at the house.
(see previous comments here under [OT} Antenna Sharing)

The results were encouraging for an antenna only 20' above ground.

Using a data logging program (much like NSA) I recorded the call
signs I heard over a 5 hour period at both the house and the shop.

I heard a lot more, and 15-20 foreign stations at the house. No
surprise there. But I was very pleased with how well the terminated
folded dipole did at the shop. 2 foreign stations, 20 or so Canadians
and 324 unique stateside call signs from all ten call sign districts.

The two foreign stations were G4AOJ and HB0WR.
