1239 UTC 01July18 , 14.090 USB Fox/Hound FT8
Up to 4 streams running -3 dB with a Tribander at 52'. Also seeing them
with 110' CF dipole at -8 db, and with -8 dB on my 6 meter LFA!
In other words, very good signals on 20m
I worked them in less than 2 minutes, probably first call.
Latest 5 streams at -6 dB on Tribander, working well, 3 RR 73 to stations
and 2 reports to other stations, all simultaneous.
Congrats Joe and Team, impressive!
