This was the 5th Annual WPX SSB at NY4T. 4 of the original operators
from 1996 participated.
Rig: Icom 761 (whaddya think guys, does it sound better or worse than
the 450?)
Antennas: Antron 99 @30'- 10 & 15 meters
260' Wire Loop @25-40' - 15-160 meters
40 Meter Wire Ground Plane @43' (see June 99 QST) - 15 and 40 meters
15 Meter Wire Dipole @20' - 15 meters
(All of the above antennas are situated in a 1/3 acre suburban back
yard.)
The 40 Meter Wire Ground Plane snagged my first JA ever on 40. Had lots
of neat stuff in the log including my first Korea and Hong Kong. Condx
and participation seemed up everywhere.
We operated about 38 hours. Lost time due to a couple of storms and
worn out ops on Saturday night. Next year maybe we can shoot for 2
million.
Kudos to KF4GKN, Linda, our longsuffering support person for excellent
food and putting up with us.
