STATION DESCRIPTION: ICOM 775DSP at about 200W, 20 Meter Dipole at 33 Feet,
40 meter dipole at 33 feet (40 and 15), 10 Meter Ground plane (sorta, it's a
long story) at 30 feet. TRLog version 6.42.
As always (my 3rd running), I really enjoy this contest. Great EU signals
once 20 finally settled down from the west coast. How does HG3DX stay so
loud?? Except for an alarm clock SNAFU that caused me to miss the Morning
Tokyo Rush on 40, all was well.
It was a nice challenge to do it from a station with no power and simple
antennas. Gets you back to good S&P skills.
I did notice that many people were a lot more careful about getting calls
correct, I know I was!!
Thanks for all the contacts!!!
73,
Bill
