Remarks (Biggest thrill in Contest, funniest story, comments, etc.):
Finally working D4 and CT3. The matching of the tower had serious problems
with high winds blowing the wires around. The AT-160-10 tuner could not hold
SWR down with the wires moving around. The tuner was also getting warm
when SWR went too high. RX Loop could give me only a little RX advantage, but
still could not copy Europeans and most DX showing up on packet cluster.
Contest definitely requires lots of space put up long beverage antennas for
receive. But with 1/3 acre lot in residential area, have to be happy with
antennas I have. 160 Will not ever be a strong band here !!
