Unlikely from the other side of Essex, yesterday was a bit of an outing for me. You didnt say what antenna you have connected? Is it a out door type? There should be a fair few stations closer to you than I am. |

I'm using an Albrecht Flex antenna and I can hear a few people but none that are interested in QSO, they all just chat with their mates. |

Hmmm, I think you will find very limited results with this type of antenna. What's its total overall length? Maybe a basic 1\2 wave might give you a better chance of a few contacts. T. |

To be fair you are always going to struggle with a 20"antenna, i dont know your situation or qth.But if you are able to get an antenna up, then do so bigger is better and height is might.If not then i would go down the T2LT route,easy and cheap to make and when you have finished it comes down in a couple of minutes. ..................... |

They probably can't hear you. The minimum length antenna you want to be considering is 4-5ft long, not less than 2. |

I got my first contacts, first Spain and then France just after sunset, but they didn't have callsigns. (The skip Gods were smiling down on me)
