I worked PJ2/K9SG Gary from Curacao Island today. I also talked with him earlier this week on 15m......todays contact was on 18.155MHz. Curacao Island is near Aruba. Gary will be on 15,17 and 20 meters through Monday.

Hl_821 are you ready for this.................i use an antron99 up @ 25ft. I use A99 10 thru 17 meters only (with tuner)..... beyond that i use my G5RV shorty. To be honest with you in most cases my antron99 out performs my G5RV on 10,12,15 & 17

My rig is an icom ic-761 and my G5RV is set as a flat top broadside north/south @ 25 ft so that may play a role in my a99 doing so well.
Anyhow it seems like 15 & 17 meters has lots of DX so listen up:)

I also talked to PJ2/K9LZJ on 20m. Did it on a homebrew fan dipole with the feedpoint 20ft off the ground. I now have a balanced line up with the feed point right at 50ft, same hight as my a99. i use the a99 for 10-17 with a tuner.
