Height, Horizons & Distance - Why Does Height Matter?

[@chuckrann6282]

I never knew the area you were in was so barren and high in elevation. At first, I thought you were in Northern Scotland. Here in North Georgia, and a suburb of Atlanta, the population density is high, with many hills, valleys and trees. Thank you for the information.

Thanks Chuck. Lots of lovely villages down in the valleys (dales) 👍🏻

I'm only 53m asl at home, so know the pain. My usual haunt in FG is 300m asl. You have a cracking spot, always loud on SSB. 73

[@ianxfs]

Yes thanks Gary. Good to get out 👍🏻

[@M0XXQ]

You up near my old pitch on Meadows Edge Ian? Cracking spot that.

[@ianxfs]

Not sure Bob. Not heard of that one 🤔

Ian Great results in CQ WPX CONTESTS 2024 well done . 73’s Steve

[@ianxfs]

Thanks Steve! 👍🏻

@@ianxfs I need to pay more attention to logging as I lost 30% of QSO points 141,000 down to 98,832 due to incorrect call sign logged or incorrect call sequence number of the receiving station. So a lot of multipliers lost. Still had a great time 28th England SO LP Not bad. Try harder next year.

@@G7LJL-Steve_Murton Ok Steve and thanks for a heads-up on the results, as I hadn’t seen the WPX email. Yes, some work needed, but hard going depending on your QTH and noise etc. I lost a few, but haven’t logged in properly to analyse. Good fun though 👍🏻
