Didn't do well from NH. A new inverted 150' sloping inv. L with two 130' raised radials heard many more EU than usual from the condo but very weak. Did manage a G4, F5, and C6. Planning to change the sloping part of the inv. L to vertical (40') for the next contest and hope for improvement. With the two raised radials connected the SWR did not change when some on-ground random radials were connected. A question: Using the 2 above ground radials should the house/rig/A.C. grounds be isolated from them ? It seems like the 2 above ground radials control antenna impedance and not much change when house ground and random on-ground radials are connected. BTW on 20m worked P75T in Zone 25. An Asian site posted a North Korean location for that call. Anyone have info on that ? Apparent bootlegger ? Fun contest with many tremendous 160m VE signals. Heard HK1NA pretty well but no QSO on 160. 73 Jim / W1FMR _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected]
