TS-870, Alpha 87A

160m: inverted V
80m: inverted V, K9AY RX loops
40m: 3 el yagi, vertical
20m: 4/4/4el yagis
15m: 2 5el yagis (not stacked)
10m: 5/5/5el yagis
20-10m: KT34XA

This was not a record year. Band condx just weren't good enough, there was much
less real high rate hours than in previous years (though run some 300+ rates for
~15 minutes or so several times). Mr. Murphy got also his only share but it was
not really a case ... eg. comparing to 2003 there were only maybe 2 real good
hours to US on 10m both days and no night propagation on 20m. But 40m was great
and new 3el yagi played quite ok. On low bands QRN was terrible!

This was my 4th trip to CT8T, but hopefully not the last. More improvements
coming next year! Again bigger than big thanks to Santos CT1DVV, Rui CT1ESV,
Teresa CT1YQM, Carla and Andre!
