Made my first contact on my new antenna... 15m band, 1400 miles (PA to Texas).
Cant wait until this evening to see how well it does on 80 meter!

Just checked... on 15m we got abotu s2.5 noise (thats no preamp or attenuator on). Meanwhile on 40 meters with no attenuation or pre-amp on im seeing s4 noise.
this is no filters or anything. I am in the middle of the city with an antenna on my roof... so noise isnt that surprising.
Not too bad at all. S4 is for sure doable.
