Today (4/10/23) was a very bad day for 40 and 20. I could hardly work any of the POTA stations out. Just a couple on CW. Very poor conditions.

I have been busier than a fly on a shit pile the last couple weeks prepping for a trip. I will be in Coronado, CA Wednesday through Monday. In my free time I will be activating a slew of parks within driving distance.
Parks: K-1130 K-3578 K-0217 K-3568 K-0907 K-0209 I will start Wednesday, Thursday I will have all day. Friday & Saturday I will be busy, then Sunday afternoon I will activate. I hate traveling to California. Funny thing is, it will be 20 degree warmer here in MN most of the time I am in CA....

At the hotel in Coronado. Opened up the checked bag with my antenna gear. The TSA disassembled my Wolf River Coil.
It is ruined. They snapped the pvc rings on the slide, and removed all the hardware. Just called TSA.. up to 6 month process to file a claim. Are you fucking kidding me. That make me more mad than the loss of $160 loading coil. I will do it just to spite them now. Fucking government. |

You have to wonder what's going through their minds as they are obviously destroying it. Like, I suppose a tube with wires could be a little suspicious, but why wouldn't they just ask you what it is before breaking it open? I wonder what the ratio of false positives is to real, actual, intentional attempts to bring dangerous items aboard for nefarious purposes. Probably millions to one. |

20 had a ton of spots this afternoon so I spotted on 20 and called. Nothing... worked 7PTP then 20 opened all of a sudden. Then it died again. Worked a guy 60 miles away in my town. I was out of town... worked west coast and east coast. South was dead except for a 2 min window when MS was coming in multiple times. Worked total of 21 stations.

It was between this or a DX Commander, but I figured the aluminum would last longer than fiberglass out in the weather. We go from -8F in the winter to over 100F in the summer and get strong winds as well. I ordered the DX Engineering double wall lower section and I might guy it as well. Still a lot to do trenching for conduit and all that. |

Just curious because I thought the instructions say not to use concrete around the pipe it mounts to, so I was assuming the antenna liked the ground. But maybe I misremember. I installed two of them in the last year and just pounded a water pipe directly into the ground. I also used the DX Engineering plate so a normal 259 connector can be used instead of direct attaching coax. |

Well that is pretty clear re the concrete, good find. I figured with the radials it was moot. I got the radial plate base from DXE so I had at least 8 radials to start. I added more with salvaged wire.
I cannot complain about the Hustler antenna and I read to just use the DXE instructions for tuning. I want to say the DXE tuning instructions were in the opposite band order. Higher frequency to lower, working you way up the antenna. It was a lot of walking back and forth and dropping and raising the antenna. My feet were actually tired, lol. The tilt over base is a blessing for the tuning. |

I couldn’t pull the URD wire and later dug it all up and salvaged the three insulated wires to add to the radial collection). Oh and I had to move my hole over a few feet after stuffing as many rocks into that void.I used three bags of quick crete. |

The hole will have to wait until next weekend.
