Equipment Description:TS-930 X 2, SB-220, C4XL @ 42', TH3 @ 35',
homebrew 2L 10M delta loop up 20'strapped to a jungle gym,
80 meter full wave loop angled at EU from 35', 160 shunt feed
on 40' of 25G- Gap Challenger, 220 line draped from dryer in the
house to the shack, 4 packs Camel ultra lights, -CT logging

Story to follow- much improved last year, still wonder if
the 1 pointer for US is a crutch...
We were gunning for top 10 in US (14th last year- forget it...)
We were gunning for 2nd place in 4 Land (3rd place last year
-tnx fer nuttin, W4AN, hi...)
Maybe 1st in NC? (nothing like a good rationalization)

Highlights-
-Catching the HARP transmission on SAT am-
-Getting called by Indonesia, VK, and JA LP on Sunday AM
-highest clock hour rate was 72- last hour, 20 meters
-Early 20 opening Sat AM about 0600
-working lots of other "Mickey Mouses"

Congrats to WC4E and the guys at W4AN!
(WC4E- KO4MM is issued to an advanced class operator- could never
get a clarification on using it below 14.175, 3.775 and 15.225-
So I, being control op- slashed the call. Right? Wrong? Who knows...)
 Anyone else have the answer for this?
