Amateur Radio US-6934 Using A Dipole

Got an early start this morning at the park at 7:00 AM I made 22 SSB and 1 CW contact with the 40 meter Dipole I had put away in the garage. Similar to the activation at US-6947 Monday night I got more 5/9 signal reports than I did with my endfed (needs repaired). Don’t get in a rut. Try different things. Thanks to hunters and P2P.
