Comments:
This was the contest last year that inspired the need for an "OMNI mode" on my
new 4-square - the thing worked just too well to hold a frequency/be heard on
alternate coasts. Enter the "OMNI-IZER" that WX0B cooked up for me for the
W1AW/5 effort last summer - the difference was huge and we ran in OMNI mode
almost the entire time. Band conditions were mercifully quiet and we had 6
more DX stations in the log including some Eu and Ja. We made about 15% more
QSOs than last year and beat last year's score by almost 25%. I'm betting that
scores will be up big time with the conditions. Thanks for those that worked
us and for the ARRL for sponsoring the contest.
