Just got the certificate today. I wwon first place qrp indiana section in the arrl 160 contest for 2008. Rig was a k3, antennas were a 90 foot half sloper fed against the 32 foot tower which anchors the feed point; and a doublet 120 feet long, with coils on each end made of 20 feet wire wound on a piece of 2 inch pvc conduit, with a 10 foot tail hanging at each end. all in all 180 feet wire in the air, fed with 300 ohm window line to a 4:1 balun at the entrance to the shack.
Hard to believe with such puny antennas. Thanks everyone who pulled me out. 73 Used the k3 auto tuner for everything. ______________________________________________________________ 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
