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. 73 Mark KK2L |

"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." |
