New Antenna Rocks! - 300 Watts

Hello All,
​
You will find the new antenna to be very precise regarding direction. It locks in like a laser beam to a signal but if you are little off, in either direction, there is a dramatic reduction in signal. I did hear India but there was a pileup. Never heard India with the old antenna. Below is what I did while I was at the Clubhouse. All signals were very strong across the panadapter.

“Conditions were good today. Some pileups were just too much for 6.5 Watts.”

“Not much DX activity with the Canadian contest covering the entire band. Got some good results in the beginning however. All contacts were 7 Watts or less.”

"Today was a personal record for me contacting New Zealand on 10 Watts. The antenna at the Clubhouse is still amazing. All contacts were 10 Watts except for Uganda and Serbia, where I went over to the IC 7300."
