Comments:
This was a kinda-sorta portable Contest-Pedition. My antenna was one of four
self-supporting 165 foot flagpole towers at a dark (off-the-air) AM Radio
Station, connected via 350 feet of coax also strung over the driveway to a
TS-480 in an upstairs room at the Best Western Seacliff Inn next door.
I'll post more details and a URL for photos to the CQ-CONTEST Reflector when I
get back home tomorrow (in case those with CC&R challenged 160m antennas
locations might want to try something similiar).
Running LP was mostly a slugfest, and doubtful I actually had more than 50
watts to the antenna for a number of reasons. Not sure about the total points
in TR4W, but the CQ-Meter said 1,766 {SIGH}.
Best DX was ZL3IX, CE1/K7CA, UA0CA, FO8RZ & some JA's. Real bad rain static
put a damper on things a bit for a while.
73, HNY & Tnx for all the Q's & Grids...
Rick, K6VVA * The Locust
