sooo, I decided to put my 6 ele 6 m quad on the tower for the upcoming weekend 'test.

I had it on a short pole attached to my 4 foot high chain link fence, the feedpoint was at about 6 feet. just to look over the antenna and make sure all the connections were tight and corrosion free.

anyway, today (Sunday) I attached a radio to check the VSWR, and,............. worked numerous stations in Az and Ca.<More audio>

some of the contacts think this is Es, but, I think it is "double-hop" F2

    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
