Keep plugging. My biggest frustration with the idea of activating a park at the moment is my antenna system leaves received signals down below the noise floor except certain windows of time. Since an activation/day starts at 0000 GMT, that means here, the day ends at 1800 (or 6:00pm). Looking back on my contacts, my antenna functions well on 20 meters from say 1300 to around 1500 and after that, any contacts I make are going to be on 40 meters.
I would love to set up for a 24 hour activation, but I’ll have to do more tinkering with my tangle of wires. As soon as I can get settled into my new north of downtown, I’ll be back in experiment mode and get back on the air
