End Fed is back up again

I put the End Fed back up in the tree, but I need to do some tuning on it. I think it is too short at the moment. I need to add a bit of wire to it. Will let ya all know how it goes.

Still Alive

I try to make PSK31 contacts when I have time and the conditions are good...Have not been on too often because of school work and other responsibilities.

End-Fed back in the trees

Well, I finally got the end-fed back up in the trees about a week ago. The tip is higher than it was before, and it is doing VERY well for itself on 20M PSK31. Keep an eye on my log below to see where I have been making contacts.

Strong Winds

The strong winds and rain over the last week brought down my End-Fed radial out of the trees...I need to get some more fishing line to get it back up in the high branches.  I shoot the fishing line over the branches, then attach parachute cord to it.
