Reclaim LSB 16

I get a little better performance in the Keys because I'm only a few feet from the salt water. Conductivity pays! A few months back, I was able to talk to 339 from my Keys QTH with my Uniden PC 122 driving an A99. Conditions here in Miami aren't terrible. The first time I made contact with 226 I had a 102" whip on a tripod in the back yard with a 102" aluminum pole for a counterpoise. Still, being near the water in the Keys definitely makes a difference.

Heard ya in there Greg, and 561 a minute ago. Unable to make contact though.
I was at Taum Sauk Mountain State Park at the highest point in Missouri but surrounded by pine trees. I tried getting back to 917 but he couldn't pull my numbers out of the noise. Too windy to deploy the Moxon yesterday, may try today. I thought I heard someone else try to get back to me but all I caught was "61".

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
