I had a good night on 40 meters last night. The Radio Gods were obviously with me.
First I called CQ and VP2EIH on Anguilla responded. Nice to start with a whiff of DX.
Then Jason W5IPA called in and said he wanted to try out his uBITX! See the pictures below. FB!
Then I got a call from K5WDW on Hilton Head Island -- Dexter runs Collins gear from an ocean-front shack (see above). Check out his QRZ page.
Then WA4PUB called in. Dave has been on the air since 1948 and was a student of legendary ham and radio astronomer John Kraus. Dave has directional antennas on 40 -- when he switched the pattern he went from LOUD to barely detectable. FB. Check out Dave's homebrew rig below.
Finally Gary W7DO joined us. He has a big 4 Square on 40 that also has some really impressive directional properties. See below for a look at his 80 meter 4 Square.
TRGH
