[W6YRA] 448.540 back again!

[Ryan Caron]

Guyed the tripod down, and it is a different, higher gain, antenna (CA-712EF) due to coax/connector/adapter shenanigans. Probably for the best though since the X50A is in rough shape and I don't expect my duck-tape and plastic splint to last very long anyway. 

New signal reports & activity is most appreciated.

Well that was short lived... 

Wind knocked the tripod over and snapped the antenna. I have a rope and some duct tape and just need to find the guy ring to tie it all down. I'll let you know when it's back on the air.

5W, TH-F6A, rubber-duck... 

South-bound 405 runs just about as you'd expect - nary a peep until you 
begin to round the hills a bit just north of Getty Center. Fantastic 
signal at 405/Sunset. 

Even better - it looks like I've got a usable path from my Faraday-cage 
of an office on the ground-floor of PAB... so I should be able to 
monitor and jump-in in-between my regularly-scheduled events... 

Great work!
