Lawn Antenna

I know, took a long time to get to the subject line help request but here goes, I started this completely as a lark but after seeing how well it can and will work...I am now looking to seriously attempt Worked All States...IF you would like to help me on my quest I would be happy to have you in my log either CW or SSB. I will post here on the list from time to time when and where the "Lawn Chairs" will be operating. I will also spot myself on the QRP spots site...TNX in advance!

Well Gang Summer is winding down and Fall is right around the corner... before you sadly drag those lawn chairs into the garage or shed for their long Winter nap, why not extend their life and tuck a couple under your arms and bring em into the shack instead! Don't worry about that the Wife or Kids will think your crazy, Trust me, Your a Ham...They already know it! ;-)

1st time using Dropbox so hopefully if I have done everything correctly you can see some pictures of the Lawn Chair antenna in it's operating position...also I included a couple of links to some youtube videos. One while I worked Jim NV9X IL in this past weekends SKCC Weekend Sprint(if you watch the video don't ask me why I pronounced Illinois as "Ill e noise", I have no clue!) and a SSB contact with HG7T in the WAE contest...
