[TVARC] K3WT SOSB (20) LP ARRL DX CW

[Tom Menas]

Hello TVARCers:



I’m new to The Villages.  Late Saturday and early Sunday morning, I
finished putting a 20 meter dipole in the attic. Operated a few hours
Sunday afternoon S&P.



Coming from a tower with monoband beams up north in Minnesota (along with a
1.5KW amp), I was quite doubtful that I would even be able to make some
QSOs other than possibly the Caribbean.  Boy was I surprised!  Worked most
stations on the first or second call (well, maybe a third time).  I felt
the thrill from my days as a Novice op.  I was particularly concerned by
QRN from my and neighbor’s electronic devices but the band was quiet.



So, I’m going to graduate soon to a flagpole antenna.



BTW, Congrats to TVARC members on great scores from K2DM, K2PS and K2PE
(hmmm what’s the callsign pattern?).
