Comments:
2 band changes + 1 radio.
Not sure if this is my best showing or not as the CW Sprint search function for
all the old scores is gone.
First hour was brutal slow. Scraped everything there was out of the jar to get
my 39 Q's.
Went to 40m early where I felt much louder but most had not moved there after
only 1 hour, so I stuck it out as long as I could. Picked up in the last 30mins
on this band.
Went to 80m early as well, but signals good. Lots of W6's in the log and a fair
amount of 0's....some 7's....I felt a long ways from anywhere, as I only worked
a mere handful of 1's and 2's
Had a great time. At the bottom of the cycle, wish it was an hour earlier (20m
would be open) or we could use 160m, hi!
Radio 1 IC-7410
Antennas for Radio 1 include, but not limited to:
10m - Bent/twisted A3S on my shed ~24\\\'
15m - K3LR/K1WA (parasitic) 5el array (partially working--ice storm)

80m - Wire 4-square of Inverted L\\\'s in the trees (Comtek)
160m - Wire 2 element array of Inverted L\\\'s in the trees (Comtek)*currently
only 1 element in service due to some season known locally as winter and all
the wrath it brings.
Radio 2 - IC-7410 (not used tonight)
Antenna for Radio 2 is a modified ZS6BKW with an added 15m inverted Vee.
80m-6m contest bands, no 160m

Thanks for the Q\\\'s
