That's perhaps only partially true. K7GM has resigned as the logchecker
for the SSB Sprints. Rick started the contest and has been the only
logchecker in its 18 year history. There is currently no volunteer in
sight to take over the logchecking task. Those who wish to gripe about
this are welcome to take their place at the head of the line to volunteer.

A friend of mine, Yuri UA9CI once had a system of 3 band(20-15-10) quads in
H configuration. That was 4-4 over 4-4. The system was installed on the roof
of a 9 storey residential building using 26 meter tower. He had to take the
antenna due to moving to another flat but now has plans to restore it
possibly next summer. Another big antenna he had up was full size 4 el 40
meters quad. That was a real "killer" on 40 meters during the day hours when
he could hear what nobody else could because of "no propagation".
