US-9719

US-9719 Susquehanna Riverlands.

  • 40m mostly, 10m, 2W, FT8
  • 40m CW, 5W
  • KD3EE is very nice for CW
  • Gabil whip with sliding coil is great
  • CA, MX, VA, NC, OH, etc
  • I was seeing interference on the touchpad, so reintroduced the choke at the feed point, and that fixed it.
  • I had removed the choke, thinking I could use the coax as another counterpoise.

POTA US-9719

I activated US-9719 Susquehanna Riverlands. The tempurature was decent, though a little bit of a mist. I got lots of practice throwing very high in the tree. I used all my throw line to hoist my EFHW into the air. Some people lingered to watch while I struggled to get just the right branch.

I found a large section of coax was bad, so had to scramble a little to get enough cable. I worked 20M to get 2 CW park-to-park contacts and 28 more FT4 contacts
