  • Weekend HF antenna being replaced

    From Ricky DeLuco@1:135/383 to All on Sat Sep 14 08:15:57 2019
    I am finally going to replace my HF antenna this weekend. I have been without an HF antenna for the last six months and it has been driving me crazy. My last antenna was a simply G5RV and it got trashed in a storm.

    Today, I am installing a OCF wipole 80-10 and looking forward to jumping back on HF. Miss Digital Modes :)

    There's nothing wrong with a G5RV. I built a G5RV Junior years ago and worked from Alaska to Argentina with it.

    Today, I am installing a OCF wipole 80-10 and looking
    forward to jumping back
    on HF. Miss Digital Modes :)

    Good luck and I hope it goes well. :)
