Comments:

IC-756 PRO2
¼ wave vertical
full wave loop @70’
4 square receiving array
NA logging software
lots of iced tea
a couple NoDoz
one dozen donuts

I was afraid when I got home from work on Friday that my vertical would be a
pile of aluminum debris on the ground due to the 60 MPH winds that blew in on
Friday, but all was well. The noise level Friday night on the transmit antennas
was S9+, the addition of a receiving array 1000’ back in the woods over the
summer away from all power lines and such really made a great difference.
Nearly all of the contacts were on the vertical, only made a couple on the
loop. Stayed awake both nights this year, the last couple years I passed out
during the second night.  Didn’t work much DX and missed ND and AK as well as
several Canadian sec’s. It was a fun contest, thanks to all for the Q’s.
