Rig: TS-950SDX / PowerSDR/IF / SO2V
Antenna: 2X Arrays 2XA-3B-17L @ 73 feet
This was my first time doing anything other than S01V and I was really happy
with the difference it made once my mind got used to it. It probably accounted
for ~20 mults and a couple hundred contacts.
It was also nice to finally get to operate one of my new antennas in a contest.
This is the most gain I've ever had on my own tower on 10 meters - this
particular Tribander has 7 elements on a 36 foot boom and produces 11.75 dBi of
gain. The higher gain and narrower front lobe means working the rotator more,
but being able to pull out the weak ones certainly makes it worth it. Worked
WB8YQJ on a handheld!
73,
Scott, WU2X
