Comments:
Missed NV and AK for WAS.
Conditions on Friday night were better than Saturday night.
Worked all but a couple of stations by running.
Almost no S&P or easily lose the run frequency.
EU was worked at their sunrise on both nights.
Beverage directivity was excellent but almost no F/B on both reversing
Beverages.
Wrong Beverage selection would put a station into the noise or not heard at all
if on the opposite Beverage. Not sure how I would handle an 8 circle Beverage
system.
Spent a few hours on Saturday afternoon CQing into thin air because of too
early a start.
K3 with Alpha 9500.
Shunt fed 90' tower with 40M MonstIR top loading and Variac capacitor tunning
from the operating position. Four 125' on ground radials (need to add more).
DXE 500' NE/SW and NW/SE reversing Beverages.
