| STORY |
I tried to run with my vertical of 16,5 m height on 7 MHz. It works fine. It was main mistake to spend a lot of time with search & punce. Calling of CQ takes quite good QSO rates. It means this setup produced solid signal in North America, even though i ran with bare TCVR (100 W) and with no beam antenna (vertical). Good experience for the next contest.
