Bands are in recovery mode
Or so it would seem.
I didn’t revisit the mountain top today, just stayed near the cabin and slapped the Buddistick atop the Jeep. I garnered a QSO with Sam K9GHD on 20 Meters this afternoon. There was a lot of QSB, but we were still able to manage a QSO.
Sam was using his IC-746 at 5 Watts to a dipole and he was a good 549. We chatted for a bit and then I went QRT to enjoy the lake for our last day here at Lake George.
This week went buy way too fast. I love it up here and am going to miss it until we come back up here next summer.

QRP – When you care to send the very least!
What do you use to attach your buddistick to your vehicle . I was not aware they could take highway speeds , Chuck
Chuck,
I use one of those Lakeview Tri-magnet mounts; but only while stationary! Not while moving. I find the car body to serve as an excellent ground plane and seem to get better results than when using a mast and the counterpoise wire.
