[W6OBB, usually on 75 meters]

Art was active last night - on 3.840 (MHz) - close to a group I talk with once in awhile.

Art's got a new antenna system too; it involves scads of harware cloth (for use as a ground plane) and a large 'loop' for use on "eighty" (meters that is) ... signal reports he's getting have been good - incuding 59 reports at 20 dB over S9 in Alaska ...

He missed a couple of his weekend show appearances due to his efforts in setting his new antenna up, suggesting he's doing a good bit more than just some pole-and-beams work with a fussy rotor.

I'll have to fire up the old CM-1 and give a listen. Though I'm nowhere near Alaska.
