5185 in Maryland
« on: June 06, 2010, 2241 UTC »
This weekend I happened to be at an event in Little Orleans in western Maryland.

I forgot the external antenna at home, but out in the sticks away from electrical noise I was still able to hear the 5185 dasher just using the built-in whip antenna, maybe 20 inches long.  Copy was pretty rough in among some heat lightning static on Friday night, but it was in there; probably would have been a lot better with a real antenna.
