I set up my Buddipole as a vertical and used one arm and a 33' wire attached to the arm. I had to shorten the vertical to about 5.3 sections so it seemed about right. I heard W6JL but he had gone QRT by the time I called him. Then I heard W6JXH on 7035.61 at 2239Z. Ron answered me and said his QTH was QTH:Fremont. Ron was 599 and gave me 579. He had a new ALS solid state amp he was trying out. Ron is a retired software engineer from Lockheed and has been a ham for 40+ years. He has a number of old Drake rigs.
