SOAPBOX: Contest was very close to family Christmas festivities this
year, so had limited operating time with quickie portable antennas not
very high above the ground. Did not have any 2 meter gear with me to
work the locals and the only thing I could do on 6 meters was to run
my 40 meter dipole through the tuner...didn't hear any activity either
local or Sporadic-E... Didn't have any antenna that would work on 160.
CONTEST GENTLEMAN OF THE YEAR AWARD...to Rick VE3FMC who held my 40 meter
"run" frequency so I could go up to 10 meters and work VY1RAC on CW.
EQUIPMENT: Kenwood TS690S - 100 W
Inverted "V" dipoles for 20, 40 and 80 meters with apex
in a tree about 15-20 feet above the ground.
