Comments:
This was more of an antenna test than a contest for me. Strung two full-size
radials around the eves of my house and garage (sort of a handlebar mustache
pattern) about 10 ft above the ground. Suspended an inverted-L (well a droopy
inv-L) from my tower with the apex at about 70 ft and the "horizontal"
portion sloping downward at 45 degrees. Resonant at 1.9 MHz, but with a >4:1
SWR at best - no matching network.
Most QSOs were the result of very good ears and persistence on the part of the
ops.
Rig: K3, 100 watts
