K7WSP KM7DKX

I did some antenna troubleshooting and I see that this little cheap dual-band magma antenna that I got had a bad SWR, so I listened to that and I have narrowed down the source of my SWR of 2.5 to a 3 was the cause of a bad ground plane adapter that they had on the antenna. So I was able to remove that from being in the line and now I have a 1.4 on 2-meter and a 1.5 on 77-meter. So I, you know, I'll take it, and I'm gonna end up running it. Gotta get ready for this rally season. What's going on over here? Gonna make a trip out and do some stuff tomorrow. So, this is KM7DKX. Back to you, mag control. KM7DKX, this is K7WSP. Well, good for you! Getting out on HF and getting a mag mount. A dual band mag mount all tuned up. I bet you had your little, what do you call those things, nano-VNA pumping along. Those things are so darn handy, or maybe you're not as shifty as I am, and you have a good rig expert. Well, very good. Let's go over now to Needles, California, and talk to folks. We should get your call in here somewhere. There we are. No, I don't have it. I know it's ULC. I'm not sure where Needles is, is that Central Valley, a nice fire pit, sounds very comfy cozy, even if I had a fire pit I would not be sitting outside at this hour of the night in Seattle.
