Comments:

Radio: FT-1000MP   Antennas: Hy-Gain TH5 on a 60' aluminum tower (Universal). 
Load the tower for 160/80.  Delta loop for 40 suspended from the tower.

QTH is a small pie shaped city lot - about 90' at the widest point.  The tower
is only about eight feet from the corner of the house and 15 feet from a chain
link fence (at the nearest point) but seems to work well on 160/80 in spite of
its proximity to the house and fence. 

Conditions were excellent - even with the solar flare on Sunday.  When that
happened (at first, I thought my radio died) I left the radio, grabed a
sandwhich and a cup of coffee and returned shortly to find conditions almost
back to what they'd been before the flare.

Came across YI9OM (15 meters) and a huge crowd calling him. I didn't call. 
Later I came across him again but the crowd was gone!  I got him with one call!
Sometimes you get lucky!

John - N8AA
