Please join me in congratulating him on this outstanding achievement. 24/7 requires completing a QSO in each of the 168 hour blocks making up the week. It takes dedication, perseverance, and missing a lot of sleep!
Well done Torbjorn! And welcome to the Branch with all the other 30 Hoot Owls! We were each crazy to do it, but it was a Hoot!

Re: Cobweb Antenna
Hi Steve, I have a friend here in Las Vegas that is using one due to antenna restrictions and he loves it. He works mostly JT65 and other digital modes, he has a cap over his MIC connection on his IC-7300 lol I guess he is afraid to talk. His is only mounted at 12 feet so the HOA can not see it and he works the world on it, he had to make some adjustments with it so make sure you have an analyzer when you set it up but once set up it is great. - 73 de Chris NO7E no7e@...

If calling CQ you might want to send your call sign a few times.... maybe three times. Gives other stations a bit of time to tune to your freq.

Re: Two new 366ers!
Nope - you can take as long as you like. This started 01-01-2016. There is no end. Here's the rules:
The Challenge ..... There are 366 calendar days in the year ... have a PSK31 qso in as many different blocks as you can! e.g. January 1, February 29, etc.
The tough one for the full 366 is Feb 29...it only comes around once every 4 years! Every time you upload to the 070 Endorsement Checker, it updates your standing. If you click on 070-365 option on the Awards Progress menu bar in Endorsement Checker, it will show you everyone's progress. Find your own call and click on it and it will bring up a grid showing days you have worked and days still open. Thanks to David for this very neat addition to the Endorsement Checker.

Re: Off Topic - Antennas
Bill Garwood
I am using a Carolina Windom 160. I use it on all bands from 6 to 160 meters. Works with the built in tuner on my TS-590SG on all bands. 170 countries and a pile of 070 Club awards and contests all on one antenna, one feed-line and one radio all on PSK31. Simple station for a simple operator. If you don’t have the space, I understand similar performance is available with the Carolina Windom 80 without 160 meters. Mine is low to the ground but works for me. Worst band is 30 meters and it really rocks on 40 meters. I’m afraid it does nothing to improve the poor propagation we are having right now.
Happy Radio!

I second that. I’ve had a lot of different wires in the air, but I always come back to long doublets as high as I can get them.
You’ll get 30m, 17m and 12m in the bargain.

Re: Off Topic - Antennas

I would go with a doublet and cut it a little long for 80 meters about 130 feet total. That way you will get all of the ham bands with tuner and single run of wire.

Off Topic - Antennas
Jon Greene - wx5nco <wx5nco@...>
First, I hope this is post is "ok". I'm not a member of any other active ham radio e-lists. I'm debating on whether or not to put up a 40 meter double bazooka, or put up an OCF 40-6 dipole. So far, my antenna of choice is the double bazooka. I have a 10, 20, and 80. The question is, whether to put up another bazooka and run another feed line into the shack, OR take down what I have and put up 1 antenna to do it all..... This may be a no brainer to some, but I've been thinking about this for about a week now. Thoughts? 73 Jon Greene WX5NCOTulsa, Oklahoma EM26 PODXS-070 - #592
