        I will try to be on in the morning to try to provide
RI to JA's in the morning. My sunrise is 1200z. 
        I have been very active in contests on all modes.
        Was chasing A45ZN on topband this evening but had
trouble copying him even with the new FT-10000MP which receives much better than
the 940's. Not sure if he came back to me. I now use a 1/4 sloping GP from the
top of the 90' tower with 4 elevated radials which seems quite directional in
the direction of the slope (northeast). It put Heard Is.
and S21XX in the log. It has performed very poorly to the
pacific. Will have to put another up to the west (maybe 3
more if they prove to be very directional). 
        73 and Happy Holidays to all,
        Jeff Bouvier K1AM  ex-K1IU
