I can't beleive that its been 29 years since we said "I Do". Funny story, everyone kept asking us when are we going to get married. Well Desi was still in High School so we told everyone that we are waiting until after she graduates. Didn't quite work out that way. The evening of the veray day that we got married, she graduated!. So when they called her name to walk across stage, that was the very last time that she would use her maiden name.
Words can't describe how I feel for you.
Love you
I tightend up the slack that I had in my 80-10 Meter Lucky 7 Antenna. Here are the new SWR measurements:
| Band | Frequency | SWR |
|---|---|---|
| 80 | 3.573 MHz | 2.0 |
| 40 | 4.074 MHz | 2.0 |
| 30 | 10.136 MHz | 3.0 |
| 20 | 14.074 MHz | 1.4 |
| 17 | 18.100 MHz | 3.0 |
| 15 | 21.074 MHz | 1.4 |
| 12 | 24.915 MHz | 2.0 |
| 10 | 28.074 MHz | 5.8 |
Strung up my 80-10 End-Fed Half Wave Antenna. The feed point is a 20 foot tall flagpole right outside my bedroom window. Then it travels west to another mast. From there it goes to the North West cornet of the house. After that it goes South East to the shed. It is 135 feet long, here are the first set of SWR measurements:
| Band | Frequency | SWR |
|---|---|---|
| 80 | 3.573 MHz | 3.0 |
| 40 | 4.074 MHz | 2.6 |
| 30 | 10.136 MHz | 5.8 |
| 20 | 14.074 MHz | 5.8 |
| 17 | 18.100 MHz | 1.9 |
| 15 | 21.074 MHz | 1.3 |
| 12 | 24.915 MHz | 2.6 |
| 10 | 28.074 MHz | 5.8 |
I tried to set it for all of the FT8 frequencies cause that is where I spend most of my time.
Here is a Google Maps vire of my antenna
That is all for now. If you have any comments please put them in the comment section below.
