 My 2nd NAQP - Just as fun as the first. Indoor antennas performed pretty well
 with exception to 80 meters (poor output efficiency) and 160 Meters - (non-
 existent output efficiency).  Will give it a try one more time with new
 and improve low-end antennas!! Thanks to those who dug me out of the sand on 80!
 My Omni 6 is at the factory being upgraded to 6+, interesting experience with a 
 "little" radio!.
