I worked NLI and ME, the two ZFs and the VP5 but I sure missed a lot of
others! I didn't hear any EU either night and only heard a couple of
6s. On the other hand, I didn't lose much sleep this weekend, so that
tells you a lot too. I don't think I've ever worked as many SECC members
as I did this weekend.
Here's a question for the SECC experts: I couldn't tell much difference
between my inverted L and my CF dipole with the ends dropping down. My
next concern is ARRL-DX, so I guess conventional wisdom would say the
inverted L would be better for EU/DX, right? However, the vertical
portions of the dipole are the same as the vertical portion of the L. Any
thoughts? Obviously, what I really need to do is make some A/B tests.
One of these years I'll have Christmas stuff all taken care of so I can
devote more time to the 160M and 10M contests.
