Hello Craig,
Get ready to join the revolution!
By the way, you don't have to give up chasing TP's on the SRF-59, just
because you are far inland. You can inductively couple almost any antenna to
the SRF-59's mighty 1.75 inch ferrite bar, or plug a beverage into a Quantum
Loop's rotating bar antenna, then stand the SRF-59 right up on top of the
bar for great signal transfer. Here in WA, Kevin on Bainbridge Island (the
father of the "Ultralight" term) has done some fantastic experimentation with
tripod mounting, QL signal transfers, etc. Personally, I haven't had much
time
to try his experiments, but they are very innovative.
Yes, receiving TP's barefoot on an SRF-59 (or an SRF-M37V) is one of
the greatest DX thrills you can imagine, but using external antennas (in
creative ways) to log them can be almost as fun, hi.
73 and Good DX,
Gary (Chief SRF-59 Promoting Culprit)
