Op TIME:  9h 30m

Rig:  TS-870

Logging by 'TR'

Antennas:

10/15/20m       D-3 rotatable dipole @ 40 ft
15m             'homebrew"  3 el monoband beam @ 25ft
40m             E/W wire dipole @ 35 ft
80m             inverted vee (broadside N/S) apex ~ 38ft
160m            55 ft  top hat loaded wire vertical @ about 30 deg angle from
vertical

Short version:

10m not open/very noisy - 2 local Q's.
15m open but apparently not to the right places
20m OK
40m Very good, but too much noise
80m  OK, but way too much noise (S9+)
160m    not much heard, tried to get W0ETC's attention, no luck, worked
K5RX for single Q.


Poor results on 10m and 160m really hurt scores.  I get comments on 15m
of loud signal but couldn't turn it into enough Q's.


Special awards:

       Only - 160m Q   K5RX 
        10m Q's   ab0mv and w0ett (tongue in cheek on these local Q's!)

If anyone has a manual and/or schematic for the HD-73 control box I'm happy to
cover costs to have one sent to me!  Shorted two connectors together just as I
got it set up.  It still turns, but the azimuth indicator thinks it's gone 360
deg when it has only turned 180!
      
73's
