[LCC] low band antenna experience

[Charles Morrison]

Have that contester call Don Hill AA5AU who has nothing but a tribander a
vertical and some wires and has been winning the ARRL Rtty Roundup Low power
for the past like 15 years.

 

Antennas are nice, but agreed, it takes a good operator, which Don's CQWW
Hall of Fame Membership most certainly proves.

I had a contester tell me once that nobody with a 3 element tri-bander at 50
feet could WIN a contest.  I agree.  I also say that even if you are the
loudest station on the air in order to WIN a contest you still need to hear
all the 3  element tri-banders on the air.  QSO's mean points. You aren't
going to do that with a good receiver.  You need the best receiver to back
up that loud voice.  If you truely want to WIN.
