[3830] TX QSO PARTY

[Richard Thorne]

Had a great time in the TX QSO Party this weekend.  Continued my
training of my currently unlicensed brother-in-law.  Hes looking
forward to the next contest that we can do a multi-operator. Thats 
probably going to be Field Day.

First 6 hours netted 100+ q's per hour.  It went down hill from there.

10  meters - Dead
15  meters - Dead (even tried setting up some skeds)
20  meters - excellent
40  meters - went long.  
80  meters - static and the usual crowd
160 meters - no antenna

WB5M, Multi-Single, 1500 watts, West Texas, Potter County

1419 q's by 77 mults for 218,526 (before scrubbing)

Station:

	TS-850	
	Amp Supply LK-500 900 watts out
	Antennas:
		10,15,20: Force12 C3
		40      : Inverted V
		80	: Inverted V

P.S. Its a good weekend to have a qso party as there were two other
state qso partys (CT and MA) as well as the cw county hunters qso
party.
