[QRP] quiet

[n5wbi at clearsail.net]

Yes, it's been very, very quiet.  Maybe these
two posts (yours and mine) will break the ice
and wake up all of the other QRP'ers on the
list.

By the way, I use a K9AY 20M QRP xcvr most
of the time.  I have a SW-30+ 30M xcvr and
an HW-8 that I use some of the time.

Right now, I'm looking for antenna ideas.
It's getting harder and harder to toss my
end-fed wires across tree bramches (old
shoulder injury).  Have you used either
the Buddipole or the MinuteMan 20??  How
well do they work?
