Kenwood TS-440 (first weekend in the shack, performed admirably)
160 Meter Dipole at 30 feet (E/W: all bands)
G5RV at 30 feet (N/S: 20, 40M Meters)
Cushcraft R5 at 35 feet (10 Meters)


SoapBox:
All time best for me.  Just picked up a "new" TS-440 and it performed much 
better than my TS0-140.  Highlights were working KH7R on Topband, getting 
ZL and VK on 40 and finding 9X0A all alone on 20 Meters at 2320.  Kinda 
cool.  Managed a few good runs (as well as 100 watts and a 160 dipole will 
allow for HI) until the frequency grabbers showed up.  Overall a good 
contest.
