N2NT ARRL SSB MM report

[JOHN GOLOMB]

Results of a small m/m effort from a single op type station.
Only 2 radios, but not serious enough to deal with 10 minute rule, 
so went m/m.

ants:2el cush 40 @ 115', 204ba @ 107',  6el  10  @ 100', 
6el 15 @ 90', 80 inv vee @ 100'.  160 delta loop @ 90'.  
All on 1 tower, only 15 on separate rotor. The 15 got caught 
in the 80 wire during sunday's wind storm, which caused the 
tic ring to slip. Was beaming Japan for a while on sunday 
trying to work South America.
 
Ops, N2NT, KZ2S, W2GD, and a cameo appereance by N2NU whose station 
was too damaged to deal with.

Best quote of the contest: I wish I could tell you fellas how 
much power I'm running, but my husband's not home to read 
the meters!  VP2MBM.

Best effort:OD5NJ on 40 mtrs. Did not have split capability, so 
he would spin his vfo up and listen for a while. Then he would 
collect the calls, come back and give reports and ask you to wait 
for 30 secs to confirm.  Who said 40 ssb is no fun?
