Equipment Description:

80m - 3 el deltaloop apex @ 42m
40m - 2 x 4Y (full size) @ 52/26m
20m - 2 x 6Y @ 26/13m + 5Y @ 52m (other tower)

Single radio only.

Major upgrade to 160 + 80 this year which paid off. OK1RF told me (after CW
ARRL) that the new 80m 3el delta loop - apex around 42m, works well and that it
is something absolutely new to our QTH and that 80m is something "ELSE". Well it
was true !! 
Low bands propagation was fine, I can compare 40m where I was "singlebanding"
last year and it was now definitively much better. 

I had no special goals since it was hard to predict what is possible, I am happy
with the outcome. I was a tiny piece from 4000 Qs but.... Of course after a
contest I know what I had to do differently and as always more could have been
achieved.I have a feeling that the "JAM" is year by year getting worse but why ?
Probably only a feeling.

This time nothing was broken !!
 
Thanks for calling !!
