Comments:
That was a Blast! The conditions were excellent and everything worked. Of
course I didn't get any sleep before the contest and stopped at 2:30AM on
Saturday morning and took a 2 hour nap and then got back up at 4AM and went
until about 7AM. I made it through until about 4AM on Sunday morning before I
hit the sack again.
The best part of the contest was the pileups from EU that resulted in 300
10-Pointers. Canada really helped out also with 71 of the the 90 5-Pointers.
On the Monday before the contest I put down 20 more radials under the Inverted
L for a total of 60 which equates to about 6000' of radial wire. They seemed
to help with the runs. The NW/SE and NE/SW Reversible Beverages really helped
out also. Thanks for all the Qs and I'll see you in the next one. 73, Jack
W4NF
