PA0O ham radio

28MHz   last 7 day  real good selected on distance    top 100  all  above 16000km DX index 100%     160 and 80  not a single decode >1000km  the low bands are real low these times My 80m experiment wi t h the loop was no improvement.  T he vertical is still bett er but not good enough it needs more distance  from the mast. Will try a fishing rod .  Heard 3B9SP  very good last night on 80m n ot busy, no jamming  but with th e vertical at only1m  from the mast the radiation pattern  is not good enough t o be heard. The 160m inverted-L  is more effect ive .  1/4 wave  is >> then the mast length and th e radiation is not disturbed  2012-10-17 08:04   PA0O   28.126171   -26   0   JO33hg   5   ZL3PX   RE66hm   18519   49   2012-10-17 08:54...
