Initial Post

I decided to start a blog of my station activities, somewhat of a blog or notes to and for myself.

My current on the air projects include:

• MEPT QRSS Grabber, via ARGO
  
• WSPR
• PropNet

All of these are running on the computer at the same time, driving the mic input of a ICOM-730 and the antenna is a 1/4 wave 30m Vertical.

My plan is to put up a Field Day Special (FDSP) antenna on 30m, with a 30 degree heading to try to work into Europe. I have purchased the 300 ohm feed line but I am having trouble using the "fdsp.exe" program to find an optom cut and size of the antenna.
