I got a laugh out of this one. With some luck I was able to put together a
tribander out of some broken and bent pieces of
aluminum. It's not pretty, but it's flat in 10, 15 & 20 meter RTTY subbands.
The 40' tower was still standing after the storm, so
I put my "Gustav" tribander up Thursday night (in the dark) after work.
I was dead tired Friday night after working all day so didn't start the contest
until Saturday morning. I decided to do a 20 meter
single band and it was fun to be back on the air again. The "Gustav" yagi
yielded over 850 contacts on 20 in a somewhat part time
effort. By Sunday I was getting bored of the single radio/single band thing
and decided to go watch football and NASCAR for a few
hours.
Thanks to everyone who worked this "odd" call. hi
