Comments:
I did a lot of antenna work during the summer going into the fall to get ready
for this contest season. I phased three TH 7's on the first tower ( bottom one
pointed SE, middle one slightly SW, and the top NW), and rebuilt the 40 meter
beam from scratch, and mounted a TH 6 below it fixed West. Put up the usual
dipoles for 80 and 40 as well. It paid off, my personnel best ever in CW
Sweepstakes. I worked the second radio extensively - just kept going up and
down the bands 10-15-20 and working stations in between running on 40 meters.
Ran 80 and 40 during the night. When 40 went dead on Sunday - the high bands
were the place to be. The new antenna setup really helped out there.
See everyone in SSB in two weeks.
Go Mad River !!!!
