Nice to hear from you Dave - You in VK?
Interestingly, I have relatively high EMI @ home, but not a high noise though:)
When time is limited during the week - I just operate mobile/p ...cuts down on the antenna setup time - that way I can catch the dx, before they qsy.
WPX - Nice weekend to be testing field antenna setup...
Hope you guys enjoy the activity

I turned on the 817 at noon ED, ??unlikely thing for me to do at this hour except for the rain. ??All of 15, 17 and 20 were open and I bagged OG2A from Finland on 15 SSB and a bunch of stateside stations also on 15, including W5 from Texas who was running 5 watts CW into a dipole. The Finnish station didn't believe me when I told him I was running 2.5 watts from a short vertical.??
