SO2R with Array Solutions SO2R Master
Conditions didn't sound that great here, and my score suffered despite ongoing
station improvements. The bands opened late and closed early, and I had a tough
time on 40. I think higher antennas would have helped a lot this weekend. New
for this contest was a 3 element 20 on a 20 foot boom, which really was not much
louder than my tribander, and a 160 meter inverted L, which did work OK. Also
new was a SO2R Master, replacing my old home brew box.
73 to all, and see you next time !
