[TVARC] Fwd: NAQP CW K2DM Single Op LP

Great job George. I ran assisted and that really helped my score with the multipliers I was able to find.Wind storm last week broke my 160 feed line at the top plus broke both legs in their middle. Not wanting to miss 160, I decided to try disconnecting the feed line to my 80/40 antenna where it enters the house, shorted the feedline coax connector, and fed the whole thing as a long wire. SWR was 8:1, but Flex 6400 tuned it great and I made 14 contacts/11 multipliers in 19 minutes from Ontario through Indiana into Texas and the rest closer. Worth the effort.Marty and I do cause a lot of interference between our stations so I couldn't run when she was operating unless I was on my Hy-Gain 640 vertical. She voluntarily limited her time to 5 hours, so I did have some good runs. We each need a complete set of bandpass filters and some work to minimize our interference. That is in our plan. Multi-band non-resonate antennas do have their issues.73,Wayne, N4FPOcala,FLSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
