The following stations were heard while doing some in the shack work. I 
parked on 1520, started the recorder and went over it later. Too early for KOMA. 
Trying to clean up the winter antenna damage before the bugs get too bad. Lots 
of rust on my EWE termination boxes, and on the vertical, so I cleaned and 
painted them. I also added a counterpoise under my E/W EWE and boy did it make a 
difference ! Not so much in the nulls, but the gain came way up. I'll have to 
make some daytime comparisons to see just how much it helped, but now the EWE 
runs equal to my 55 ft vertical which it never did before.
