This was my first time participating in the ARRL
160m contest. I had a great time. I continue to be
amazed at what the Butternut HF9V vertical antenna
can do. Working 126 stations with a 27 foot tall
ground mounted vertical and a FT950? It was alot more than I
expected. My antenna has very very limited bandwidth
so I worked between 1.800-1.820 for a while then
retuned the antenna for 1.840-1.860. Almost all
of my QSOs were S&P. I tried to call CQ for a few minutes
but realized that I can't hear very well with the vertical.
Maybe Santa will bring me an antenna tuner this year, so
I can work a larger portion of the band. Thank you to
everyone who dug my very weak signal out of the noise.
