The contest is over and I don't think I worked anyone from our group.
Results:
<> 678 QSOs
<> 47 Countries
<> 17 States
<> 3 Canadian Provinces
<> 216,745 points
Rig Here:
<> Ten-Tec Eagle + [modified] Model 318 Amp Keyer
<> Heathkit SB-1000 running @ 600w
<> Inverted-L hung in the trees
<> MFJ Keyer (I prefer an external keyer in contests)
For the first time ever, the fan finally switched on, on my Eagle.
I had been calling CQ for a longer period of time.
I had never heard it before. Usually I only work S & P.
Startled me at first. Couldn't figure out what the noise was. It wasn't
loud, just strange to me.
I ran the Eagle at 60w, enough to drive the Amp to 600w.
It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway), the Eagle performed like a
champ.
I wouldn't trade it for any other radio on the planet, not even a
Hilberling.

PS: James, I worked Michigan 3 times; where were you?
