Being a newbie, I also don't have much to compare it to, but overall I would
rate it a B. For the few weeks leading up to the vhf contest it was great
(give it an A), but since then things seem to have stalled out a bit. But
there's been some good dx openings the past few days, so maybe were in for
another good run here before the season starts winding down (I hope)... 73's
