Comments:

Rig: Ten-Tec Paragon, Drake L-7, Dentron Super 
     Super Tuner, JPS ANC-4

Antenna: 80/40 Meter Parallel Dipole at 27' 
         configured as Marconi and fed against 
         4 60' radials. Dipole at 20 feet on RX 
         (via ANC-4)

Had intended to put down around 20 radials but
a bad cold brought me inside early (only 4 cut). 
I vaugely remember glancing at the OH2AQ cluster
a few times at the beginning, so I decided the
better part of discretion would be to file M/S.
Too lazy to look at it later on :):)

Big thrill was getting my second JA on 160 with
my pea shooter antenna. Congrats to JA0QNJ for 
having good ears (he picked my out of the noise
about 15 minutes before his signal really got
strong). 

Surprised to work about 90 percent of the stations
I heard including quite a few East Coast stations. 
Hope to have the dipole/marconi a little higher and 
more radials next time around. 

73 de Mike, W4EF/6.................
