[FQP]Mobile Station Signals

[nf4a]

The first day of the contest, I "felt" weak....I assumed it was conditions 
because on Sunday, I didn't have any problems with stations hearing me or 
working me if I called them....I can now say that after reading some of the 
comments, I wasn't that loud on Sunday either....

I will have a different antenna system for the next FQP....

I really think that if you mount more than 2 resonators on a mast, you 
begin to have reduced radiation...I was running 4 (40-10) on the same 
mast....I think I will have one mast for 40 and 20 CW and then a second 
mast with 40 SSB and 15 and 10 (next year, I doubt 10 will be a 
factor)....This time last week, I had a 12 foot mast with 40 and 20 on it 
and it was working great, but when I added 15 and 10, I had to take the 
mast to 8 feet to make it work on 15 and 10....I could tell something was 
happening, although the analyzer seemed to say everything was ok...maybe 
the load was ok (after all, an analyzer will like a dummy load) but 
radiation wise, I was sucking....
