[TVARC] VP9/W6PH

[n4fp.wayne]

I don't know where I got Pitcairn.  Bermuda makes more sense.  Anyway, it was a good test of the 6BTV vs the beam which wasn't great even when facing Bermuda.  Thanks for the correction.73, WayneSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

My log says he was 5NN so I guess he was pounding in here :)Frank KA1AF Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 17, 2019, at 2:17 PM, Wayne N4FP <n4fp.wayne at gmail.com> wrote:An old Air Force friend of mine who was a year ahead of me at the Academy, is pounding in from Pitcairn Island on 14049.4 with his 100 watts.  I first heard him with weak signal using my beam pointed SE, rotated to SW and not much better. Switched to 6BTV and he is pounding in.  VP9/W6PH.  Good opportunity for vertical antenna.   I also worked him early yesterday morning on 80, weak signal but he copied me.  73, Wayne N4FP______________________________________________________________TVARC mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/tvarcHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:TVARC at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
