[DX-CHAT] Antenna for 30m?
I currently have no antennas for the WARC bands (30,17 and 12.) On occasion, I use my 80m slopers on 30m and my 40m Yagi on 17 and 12. They work, but not well. Looking a propagation into BS7H-land, looks like 30m may be the best shot from the east coast, so I'm thinking maybe I should put up a temporary antenna for that band. I don't want anything permanent as it would mess up the pattern of my tribander stack. I have a single tower with multiple TH7s, a 2 el 40 at the top, and a bunch of wires for 80 and 160. There are no trees anywhere near the tower. Any suggestions on what my best option would be for a temporary 30m antenna fed with coax? Inv vee? 1/2 wave sloper?

RE: [DX-CHAT] Antenna for 30m?
I have had good luck with the Cushcraft D3W which is a single element alum. tubing and traps antenna for all three WARC bands in one antenna. It mounts at the center and thus can be rotated easily or mated with other beams on a mast. I used mine on VU4 with good results (with the DX gain added, of course). I highly recommend it as a simple and effective ant. 73 Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Mortgage rates as low as 4.625% - Refinance $150,000 loan for $579 a month.

[DX-CHAT] odd call sign
Hrd on 20 m phone the other day: DDXX1DBT signing in a LSB CQ near c enter of phone band. The YL answering said that it is a club station. When I advised her to use USB on 20m and implied a query about her being a licensed ham, she went QRT with no notation of same.
