  • So got up to my perch for a few hours and although the 11band seemed dead there were pockets and moments where some great DX was popping in

    When you key up,you never know who is gonna respond to you,specialy when the band is quiet!Many times a quiet band give the best contacts in my experience!When the skip is pooring in it´s much harder to make a decente contact in that hornets nest of noise!cheers buddy

    Good job, Al. Great to see your video. Got to talk to Maxi, last week. No real qso but got to hear her voice. Thinking of John and hoping to catch you on air.

    is it true the thunderbolt antenna can be used between 10-20 with an atu?

    • @Al.26TC101
      @Al.26TC101  3 месяца назад

      I can't see why it wouldn't work, but a great SWR across 11m so probably wouldn't have to tune it on 10, and it may be resonant on 20m
