Talked to another base station 42 miles away last night after conditions quieted down. I didn't ask for a S-unit report but the guy on the other end and other base stations that he was talking to were surprised that I was running barefoot. I told them that I was running a 959,a Road Devil,and a A99. I figure that I have 2db loss running 110' of RG8X but with the gain figures that Marconi gave me,I was putting out around eighty watts pep in radiated antenna gain. Cool!
