           IBM PC/XT for logging only, NO PACKET (yet anyway)  
                                                    


Spent the first 4 hours of the contest, plus the previous 6 
hours replacing the antenna mast that bent like a pretzel in the 
wind on Tuesday.  Missed AK, NWT, NE, and NNY. Never heard NE or 
AK, the only time I heard VY1JA he was too weak, and doing S&P.
Also briefly heard N2MD (I think) S&P fom NNY, no time to set up
an ambush, but got CI2AWR for PQ in last 4 minutes by waiting 
just above where he was working a station S&P and called when he
finished. Don't change SS format, it would ruin its unique charm
and strategy. Did notice the fast QSB on 40 and it folded early
at least with a high angle radiator, 80 was decent though.

I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations 
for Amateur Radio in my country. My report is correct and true   
to the best of my knowledge.
