Title: 40mtr am ?
Post by: wa1knx on May 15, 2005, 08:16:40 PM
Anyone up for 40mtr am? 75 has been crap. earlier spring, i was working
europe nightly, and the am gang late.  if people are, I'm going to tune up
the 3 element 75 vertical array for 40. that will be 3 , 1/2 wave elements
wide spaced - It should play, hope it does ? ?

Deano even 40 meters is dead for me.  I hear 8 and 9s just weakly.
