No problem hearing CA here either.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
160 with the inverted L as with 80 40 and 20 tuned with the auto tuner MFJ 998.
17, 15 12 10 with the vertical, worked all continents with that in no time flat.
20 also with the OCF antenna on every band i can chose between vertical and a horizontal antenna.

Unfortunately, we don't have operating privileges on the 60 meter band.
Based on DXCC totals, 20 and 40 rule the roost. But I don't have a problem with any of them at the moment except 160, no antenna there.

That may be. I've seen the pictures of his domicile, though... with those towers and beams up, let alone his linears, he should be doing just fine.
Don't know if or when I would be getting out towards San Diego in the immediate future, or I'd offer to come over, help him string a few more radials, and get those Butternut verticals up to par. Would only cost him a couple of Ten Tecs from the collection.

Then, he's a piss poor operator, because he claims he can't get any stations, because he's not a "Big Gun" station.
Might want to bring an ARRL operator's manual as a gift to leave him :)Don't know if or when I would be getting out towards San Diego in the immediate future, or I'd offer to come over, help him string a few more radials, and get those Butternut verticals up to par.

Not a bad idea Corey, but for what those manuals cost new these days, if Pat wants one, he can find it on eBay. There's usually enough selection of books there that he shouldn't have to worry too much about the alleged Rat Bastids.

Ohhhh, the HUMANITY!
It's not healthy for Ten Tecs to be in the Crest Museum environment.
The inherent Yaesu bias does not give them much of a chance at all.
Liberate them, and hook 'em up to antennas that work. ;)

NO Ten Tecs in my collection. That is one brand not found. Would like to add an Argonaut some day.
My main problem is that I am at WORK when the band is open, and it is closed when I get home.
Just checked the other night. 20 dead, 17 and 15, notta peep. I get in my DXing Sunday morning before church. Can't work DX if the band isn't open. I miss the great SUNSPOT years where 20 would be open around the clock.
OH, I get out alright. I have the QSLs to prove it.
