[3830] CQ WW SSB 4U1UN

[Donald Toman]

It was a pleasure to put 4U1UN on the air for this contest. This was a 
modest effort with two ops, two rigs (only one with an amplifier) and 
simple antennas. Building security limited the amount of time on the air 
(21 hours), so we weren't on the lower bands as much as we would have 
liked. 
I know we were heard by a lot of stations we couldn't pull out. The fact 
that the antennas are 500 feet above ground helps, but nothing works 
like directivity. Both the antenna situation and activity will improve 
slowly as time goes on. 
Running 120 stations in a half hour on 40 Meters at 2 pm Sunday 
afternoon was definitely a kick!
