Antennas:
TX: 1/8 wave wire Tee (my 60 feet high 80/40M inverted vees and RG-8X feeder
used as a 160M Tee) with 70 65foot long radials.

Some "Firsts":
First contest with the Orion. And it worked well.
First time ever to use computer logging. Used N1MM Logger.
First time for a new local Line QRN. The wind storm that blew through central
Pa. on Wednesday caused a local intermitant QRN that was 20 over S9 on the TX
Tee antenna. And the only rx antenna that could be used with some success was
the se/nw Beverage. The Noise went into full "buzz" on Sunday about 0000Z. Later
someone sent to me "EU calling" but I'm sorry I could not hear well due to the
high power line QRN. The QRN is in the direction of EU and that antenna was
useless.
