20/15/10	cushcraft D-3 rotatable dipole w/o rotator
80-40:		80m dipole fed with open wire line


Comments:

NEVER NEVER EVER sign "/0" again as long as I live!  Countless people 
copied N4VE or if I was "lucky", N4VE/0.  

 Never did hear much from JA except for the big guns.  I even went to
the
effort of going to the roof and hand rotating my D-3 dipole towards JA
and the
end result was the least amount of JA's I've heard in any dx type
contest.  Was
this a propagation thing here in the Rocky Mountains (haven't heard
anyone else
mention a dearth of JA's)or was I just totally out of sync?

As a relatively casual event I had a good time.  Wouldn't think about
taking
it seriously w/o better antennas and more power.
