ATAS 120 in the attic

Update on the attic ATAS 120, this last weekend was a pretty good test and I was pleasantly surprised. Saturday afternoon and evening netted contacts in all four corners of the US and DX as far down as Argentina. These were mainly on 20m and some on 40. The antenna tunes on all bands after a little trouble on 15, but with a some sheetmetal adjustment all bands are fine now. I made a few trips from the house to the truck to check the difference, the edge goes to the attic install. No more trips into the attic for now. I have to work on the 80m Hamstick I slapped in place of Solarcon 99 I had out on the roof, its not optimal yet. Thanks to those that threw me some advice and Channel Jumper for the extra "life" instructions. :)

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
