Hams have a lot to celebrate here in California, USA. Of course, everyone knows its home to Elecraft. However, this year there is a special reason for the Hams of Oceanside, CA to celebrate: We fought the city to stop an ordinance that would limit ham antennas to 36 feet plus impose a number of onerous conditions. Part of our presentation to the city included the 2009 CQP spreadsheet (look under "resources" at www.cqp.org <http://www.cqp.org/> ) showing how HF operation requires different bands at different times. This data plus a simple discussion on "ground effects" and its relation to antenna height won the day. Thanks NCCC.
BTW, I hope all Elecrafters will join in the fun this October 1st & 2nd. 73, Fred, AE6IC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
