[MiQP-Mail] Lettuce Pray for a few sunspots for April 19

[ku8e at bellsouth.net]

 Jim,

I am using the top hats that DX Engineering sell for the Hustler mobile whips. For 20 meters I use the
RM-15 meter resonator with the top hat and on 40 meters the RM-20 with the top hat.
Based on our results I think these work better than the regular resonators alone. I think it
is because the efficency is better because of a smaller loading coil on the antenna. 

See
http://my.att.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=331&folderid=269968&groupid=352456&folderview=thumbs&ck=  for some pictures.
The 40 meter top hat is so big it won't fit in the car and I store it on the short mast when not using it.
What I really need to do is get another long mast an have two antennas to switch between - one for 40 and
the other for 20 meters...

BTW.. we had almost 2K QSO's from W4AN/m in the GQP. Wonder how our signal was up there
compared to the other rovers ?


73, Jeff
