[SADXA] ZL8X also 10m

[Jim Henderson]

    I have them on 2 or 3 bands mobile.

    Usually I have to wait until prop peaks to bust these piles, but on 12M 
this afternoon, I missed the peak. On the home station, with the quad, they 
were 559 at best. Going out to my mobile, they were an honest 429 on the 
average, 539 on QSB peaks.

  Yet they pulled out my 100w-to-a-lossy-whip type of signal.

  I have not seen what their table of equipment and layout is, but having 
been on trips like this, I know being able to hear makes all the difference. 
And it takes planning and design to keep the local RFI down to where the 
mobiles and QRP-to-a-wet-noodle stations regularly make it into the log.

  Sure seems like they did their homework well.
