Equipment Description:
A retro contest. Having just moved to a new contest-optimized QTH, I've not
had time to get up all my decent antennas, etc. Top that off with the fact
that my Icom 765 broke a few days before the contest. So here's what we used.
Antennas:
tribander @ 50' on house-mounted tower.
40/80m trap dipole at 50'
Rig:
Icom 720
Due to age of rig, that meant no DVK, Heil boomset, automatic antenna
tuner, keypad frequency entry, computer interface for automatic split, etc.
At least I didn't have to dip the grid or swap crystals. In retrospect, I
don't know how I ever survived as a 75W rock-bound novice.
