Operator List: VE5DX, VE5CPU, VE5TP, VE5SF, VE5RC, VE5ZG, VE5SJA         

Equipment Description:
TS950/TEN-TEC TITAN, FT1000MP/ALPHA 78, TS940/ALPHA 78.

Antennas:
A3 for 10, 15 and 20 metres at 50 ft.
4 el Mosley 15 metre monobander at 45 ft
Mosley Classic 33 at 140 ft (only worked on 10 metres)
Delta loop and 4 el. wire LPDA on 40 metres
Inverted "V" on 80 metres at 135 ft.
Inverted "V" on 160 metres at 135 ft.

Fun had by all and we were genrally pleased with the score considering
this was much of a last minute effort and antennas were really limited
on high bands.  Jim (VE5DX) descended from 140 ft with 5 minutes left
to start to find that tribander still didn't function properly on 15
and 20.  Performance of wire LPDA on 40 - fixed on Europe - was better
than expected considering its height.
