[QRP]antenna

[Daniel Reynolds]

I'd be real curious if you have the 20 ft poles at your Bass Pro. They only had
the 16 ft poles here in OKC - but, then again, ours isn't one of their larger
stores.

I've used a 'hamstick' antenna on 20m, and have had pretty good success with
it. I usually don't work them on 20m unless they are showing an S9+ signal.

72!
