A package arrived through the mail today from Universal Radio. I purchased one o' them thar fancy PAR EF-10-20-40 antennas. It kind of goes against the grain to buy a commercial antenna, but it has gotten great reviews and eliminates the need for a counterpoise. I figured, "Why not?". The other thing that is good is that I can use it on other bands by cutting my own radiators. Hopefully if the weather is decent this weekend, I can take it to the park with the antenna analyzer to tune it.
Skeeter number requests came in a flurry today! We're up to number 105; and I think I owe many thanks to Jim W4QO for promoting the Skeeter Hunt on the NOGAQRP e-mail reflector. Thanks, Jim!
The 20 Meter QRP Fox hunts continue tonight. No thunderstorms like last week, so just maybe I'll be able to catch a pelt or two.
