S 2-4 with great audio. Signal is as good on the MLA then on the discone.
First experience with 10M FM.

The notch filter does not seem to work well on 10M.....

Have worked it several times in the last 2 weeks. 10 & 6 have enjoyed some excellent openings.

Heard that 29.620/R- machine several times now on the indoor scanner, with just the telescopic whip on the back of it. Usually, the Dallas, TX machine on 29.660/R- comes in on that scanner, but not this year, apparently.
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No mater where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
