THIS IS MY MOMENTARY ANTENNA SITUATION : 10 M DIPOLE AT 9 FEET HIGHT

I WILL ADD A VERTICAL QUARTERWAVE WHIP SOON TO HAVE A CHOICE FOR RECEPTION,

ALTHOUGH I CAN HEAR QUITE WELL HERE AT 3529 FEET A.S.L. IN THE CALIFORNIA HIGH DESERT, 28 MILES NNE OF PALM SPRINGS, GRID LOCATOR DM 14te, I NEED MORE INPUT IN ORDER TO REACH MY GOAL OF 150 COUNTRIES UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. SO FAR I HAVE WORKED 45 COUNTRIES SINCE 2-1-02, THIS YEARS WPX CONTEST BROUGHT 15 COUNTRIES, MOSTLY EUROPE AND IOTA. THE ANTENNA LOOKS A LITTLE TO WSW/ENE, IS NOT IN A TYPICAL W/E DIRECTION, THEREFORE I HAVE STRONG SIGNALS FROM THE NE US STATES AND CANADA, AS WELL AS THE CARRIBEAN ANS SOUTH AMERICA. I WILL TRY ANOTHER DIPOLE TURNED AT 180 DEGREES TO COVER THE EXISTING HOLE. IN ADDITION, A VERTICAL 1/4 WAVE WHIP OR GROUNDPLANE IS PLANNED. LATER IN THE YEAR I WILL TRY A LONGWIRE, WE HAVE SPACE ENOUGH FOR THAT.
