Hi Bob,
Ha, I thought I heard KL7XJ contact someone else, just as the bird was setting here. Must have been you. Too rough to copy here in CM98 at a 2 degrees, but you're farther north. Congrats!
The helix type antennas are definitely the way to go. Easy to build, too.

Great contact with KL7XT for several minutes. I used a 16 turn helix, instead of the 22 el yagi. The helix blows the yagi away. 73 Bob W7LRD _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
