Operator List: KU4BP, N4VHK, WB4MSG, N0KTY, WB4KQN
Equipment Description: Kenwood TS-930/Heathkit SB220/ TH3 @ 40',
Kenwood TS-440, 80 meter full wave horizontal loop up 45',
shunt fed tower for 160, GAP Challenger Vertical, CT Logging

NOTES: Last minute change in plans forced us to throw together our
first High Power effort from N4VHK as Multi/Single (complete with 220
line draped from the inside dryer to the shack 50 feet into the 
yard- a real wife pleaser...) Had some great 15 and 20 meter runs, 
160 was scarce, and 80/40 had some nice surprises. Only 1 40' tower here,
with a couple wires and a vertical. Good reports on our signal from Europe-
Our score is solid proof for anyone wanting to contest competitively 
without an antenna farm- it can be done!( I'm going to install the 220 line
permenantly...Had fun with an amp for the first time-))
