The finding about the antenna box was very interesting. I knew it was important to have above the ground. But the discovery of keeping it off the slope was new for me. Thank you.

The activation in snow was tough but enjoyable. Thanks for the comment, Jeff!
Hello , i use the same antenna system with a 9m carbon fiber pole and a 9:1 transformer. in addition of the paperclip i add a piece aluminum sheet around the pole secured like you with clamps. i did some test with a standard fiberglass pole using a 8.6m wire with the 9:1 transformer and cannot see any difference. As you said the ohmic contact is crucial. my antenna is performing well from 40 up to 10m and i am not using a fiberglass pole since this system is far more convenient. 73s V85NPV Op Didier

Good to hear that the carbon antenna is used in Europe! Some stations use Al sheet to get good contact here too. Recently I am using PT antenna instead. Hope to make QSO with you! Merry X'mas.🎉

Aerophone mini is a good instrument but it is for biginers. Get a higher one if you already have experience.

@@takeshiabe1816 I guess you're right - the usual rule is that you should always buy the best instrument you can afford... but the rider to that is that you should also buy the instrument that sings with you; that's how I bought my Pratten-style flute 30 years ago - it sang with me at the store, when much more expensive instruments felt 'dead' in my hands. This will be different because I can't walk into a store and try them all... so I'll have to go on cost/features... and that possibly means an EWI Solo........

言わずと知れた、1978年秋の資生堂キャンペーンCMソングである。この時代、化粧品会社のCMは世の中のトレンドを作り出す先駆者であり、資生堂VSカネボウのCM対決は熾烈を極めていた。 ちなみに、この年の夏は「時間よ止まれ vs Mr.サマータイム」。両社のCMが流れまくり、両曲もヒットしていったのである。 世はまさに”CMソング全盛期”であった。
