Soapbox: Started out Friday night as SO/LP, but wasn't going far. NO7F
brought over his amp, and I ran 500 watts for the rest of
the night. What a difference power makes. Had a rate of
141 for a while. He went back to Seattle so I had to
give his amp back Saturday night. Tried low power again
but my heart wasn't in it after running high power. Too
many people just couldn't hear me. I've got to get an amp
for 160! The new rx antenna worked real well. Too well!
I could hear too many stations that couldn't hear me.
73 and CU in the 10 meter contest.
