If you follow me on “Twitter” or noticed the comments “Bob said on Twitter” on the top right side of your screen you will know that I headed out in the afternoon to test out an 88 foot doublet and a home brewed 4:1 balun…
Now you get a little more detail…
I walked over to Hutton Park which is about a 10 min walk from home and set up…
[The radio was my FT 817 with my LDG QRP Autotuner and I set up at the baseball diamond at the park...
Anyway although the band conditions were not the best the antenna loaded up on 10-80m with no problems and did load up even on 160m but the tuner did fight it a bit…
Contacts were made on 40m and stations were heard on 20 and 80m…
It was an hour well spent…
