Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don’t give you any choice ‘cause they think that it’s treason
So you had better do as you are told
You better listen to the radio
I was just out in th acreage this afternoon making contacts with Japan, Ankorage, Idaho, Arizona and I decided to pack things up before I could log Austrailia in the logbook.
I was using a little Xiegu G-90 20watt transceiver with about 17 and a half feet of speaker wire run up a squib pole and six 1`7 foot radials on the ground.
Nice way to spend the afternoon here in the Gold Country of California. Japan is always a good bet in the afternoon and those cats are always good for the log book. They are a bit shocked when I tell them its just 20 watts and a bit of speaker wire....oh—did I neglect to mention the 4:1 balun? That is whay makes it all work.
Worked mostly 12m and 17m. Amazing—considering how it all began...
