Comments:
I only decided to particpate in the contest on Friday morning, so it was almost
a complete cold-start of the entire station, end to end.
The radio had been unplugged and boxed up since last winter. I needed to get
almost all of the antennas out of storage in the garage and installed up into
the trees (there are no towers at N1PGA). New feed lines were rolled out for
most antennas. Fortunately the WX was terrific and I had left most of the
support lines and pulleys up in all of the trees from last spring.
All the antennas except one are home brew, so I was very familar with the
assembly and install process and so it all came together pretty quickly.
Rig: FT-1000MkV Field
Homebrew Antennas: (each suspended in or in between trees)
10m 2-el Quad NE @ 30'
15m 2-el Quad NE @ 35'
20m 2-el Quad NE @ 45'
40m Dipole @ 55'
80m 1/4w vertical over 4 raised radials
160m InvVee @ 65'
F12 C3 @ 45' fixed South (also suspended from a tree)
550' Beverage NE (sure wish more people in EU had one)
I'm glad to hear that I was not the only one who had a tough time on the low
bands Saturday night...
