Rig : IC756pro2 +homebrew 4CX250 PA 500W
             ant : 2elts wire-yagi / Optibeam OB6-3M

Part-time/casual effort; Started the contest on saturday evening, after a very
busy and tiring saturday. The main objective was to test the addition of a
passive reflector on my 40m dipole, but I quickly gave up due to high local
noise (rain on 380kV power line) and ended-up in bed earlier than planned... 
In fact the real fun started sunday evening, when the rain finaly stopped: 230
QSO's logged on 40m during the 2 last hours (best 30mn @150 ), confirmed that
the antenna was working fine... a 2 hours great pile-up which I'll keep in mind
(probably the best ever, from my modest domestic station !)!
Finaly 40m has been by far the best band with 500 QSO's logged in only 6
hours... (for sure that's promising for future tests...)
Superb conditions also on 20m late sunday evening; but was to impatient to test
the 40m antenna (same for 80m !) ... 
Finaly and in spite of the limited time spent on the air all US-states have been
worked except SD. A pity the weather did not help, but to be honnest I had been
too lucky for many weekends in 2005 !
Details and pictures of my 40m wire-yagi soon on http://f6irf.blogspot.com/
