[Jim Pratt]

What a great weekend:

 80   144  24  40
 40   876  36 102
 20   556  34  96
 15   743  34  99
 10   439  28  85
=================
TOT: 2775 166 433  ====> 4,690,170  New W6 and Zone 3 record (claimed)

46+ hours

When the bands were open and I could run rate, WOW!  I sure wish I had 
more than a two or three hour opening into Eu on 10 and 15, but I ain't 
complaining.  This was a LOT of work, I really ran the two radios a lot. 
At times I was running four receivers (given the sub RXs in the FT1000s); 
my ears are still ringing.

Station:

FT1000D/Alpha 77   FT1000MP/Alpha 76PA  CT9.37B/2 computers networked

Antennas:  160: Fed tower + beverages; 80: dipole @ 158' + phased loops 
on JA;  40:  4/4 @ 150'/80';  20: 6 el @ 140';  20/15/10:  KT34XA @ 100' 
+ stacked KT34XAs at 110'/60' + M2 LP at 100'.

Thanks again to W6GO and K6HHD for letting me invade their home once 
again.  The second new cat seemed to occupy the first cat and they didn't 
bother me much this year...

73!  Jim  N6IG
