Temporary Mast Install

I put up a 20ft mast today and now am running a somewhat inverted V OCF-40.  For now it's anchored in a 5 gallon bucket of rocks and guyed with the antenna elements and coax cable.  Next payday I'll rent an auger and make a hole and cement in a base for it and run some real guys.  I should be able to get it up to 32ft then, that's my goal anyway.

CW Ops Hatin' on Some JT65 Ops




For some reason the contestants today decided to CW all over 28.076MHz.  Not pretty.  One CW Op even had some drifting. With all the band-space on 10m why operate CW here? :/
