Back from AK to OK. Results from this "expedition" were poor- the Auroral
episodic activity quashed any form(s) of long haul both within the Americas
and Eu. Signals from Eu were stronger during the day which was always bad
karma (man) - Apart from a few full callsigns from Steve Ve7sl I only bits
from other Part 5 and VE stations - nada from Eu ; it would have taken
another 30-35 dB before Id had seen much from the Eu 1W erpers, and nothing
from the US Part 15'ers.
The site was nestled in the mountains too which didnt help too much and in a
poorer lowere angle take-off location than my previously site in Anchorage.
I learnt a bit more about my ft817 on LF, my pc security system and the min
antler/rack height for a loop array...
