Propagation here was super frustrating today. Lotsa band noise, and weak signals on 10 and 12. I blew a couple of hours listening to stations that I wanted to work, but couldn't call because I wouldn't have been sure what I was hearing if they did come back. 3 db extra of antenna would have solved everything.
This thread illustrates something about the anthropology of Elecrafters that I find fascinating. I'm also a member of a list devoted to radios that aren't much good for anything but no-code ragchewing. A conversation like this could never happen there; it would be like a sudden bunch of posts in some Martian dialect, and the participants would have no idea what anybody was talking about.
