Yeppers! Its due to the curvature of the globe. We are so used to looking at some form of projection type map that takes a round shape and puts it on a flat surface that we forget that the projection can throw our perspective off. If you were to take a globe and plot the direction you would see...

Got a little time left. Gonna call from .460. If you want to sked reply here before its over.

Dead here too. Heard a VK station on .485 but he signed off before I could get a chance for a contact. Other than that your'e right, dead here.:headbang

I got nuttin on 10M:confused:. I'll keep scanning. 9:39 EST

Sorry I missed you guys. Did get to have a QSO with Mike KC9Q and Gary W9FNB.

8:29 est there is a"Rag Chewers Net" taking place on my end. Freq.s in use +-5k of .985 as well. 8:38 net just closed. QRZ Hey! Got KC9Q and W9FNB aka BJ Radionut on the freq.! Enjoyed the short round table with you guys. I noticed another net jumped on the freq as soon as we were done. 73...

I might be able to jump in as well. 8:30ish EST?

In addition to using the external meter, don't forget to recalibrate the meter for the higher power when checking the SWR.

It not going to be pretty, but I would try go as straight as possible to the ground rod at the service entrance. Try not to put too many sharp turns in the ground wire.

Thanks for the flowers on the set-up.:wink: I don't have any plans right now for any other additions to the tower. The Hex Beam gives me 20-6M coverage and the UHF/VHF Beam covers me for 2M vert. & horiz. and 440 vert. I can match the Delta Loop for 160-6M. I'm still on a learning curve for the...

Yep, on 15M as well. I am hearing some CA stations on 17M.

QRZ on 28.455, freq is in use by a contest station in Mexico.

The coax is suspended high enough all the way to the entry panel. It doesn't touch the ground. So I'm good there. I will take the slack out of the white wire (which is a ground) to clean up that part of the install later. I just hope I can get the grass established here so I can have some...

Finished putting up my Delta Loop a week or so ago. New pics. http://www.worldwidedx.com/members/eduk8tr-albums-delta-loop.html 73 Wayne C.

YUP!

Yup. Looked at that one. Still not rated for 440. I needed something to cover that portion of UHF.

KEWL! :thumbup: I tried to find a remote mount switch for my antenna and couldn't find any thing that was rated for VHF/UHF so I ended up running multiple feed lines. Get it up in the Air! 73 Wayne C.

I caught the tail end of a conversation on 2M the other night. Individual claims that he is going to use a 11M amp on 6M. I don't know if they are going to do some kind of conversion or modification. They said they had a couple of "CB amps" laying around and was going to put them into service on...

This Hex Beam just keeps getting more fun.:w00t: Last night nice long QSO with Ed KL7HRN in Alaska. Tonight nice QSO with Bryce KH6AT in Hilo, Hawaii. Never worked these states until now. This may not seem like a big deal to some, but for me its great.<<More audio>> 73 Wayne C.
