Comments:

Having just been here in WMA for 3 months.....I HURRIEDLY 
put down 60 radials and off I went....(other 60 will have to wait until after
contest.... (Tower AND yard are cold up here in Mass in December!!! HI HI
<smiling>)....

But, After NOT being able to tune my shunt fed tower 
(remember I just moved here 3 months ago...) I decided to 
put up an INVERTED L on the 70 foot tower........ and due
to the Vacuum Variable Cap I borrowed not being quite large 
enough to tune it, I put the in shack tuner at the base of 
the tower...and loaded that puppy up!...and off I went... LP but assisted.
Thanks for all the western stations who made the extra effort!!!

Also put up another western Beverage 540 feet long....which 
really helped!..duh...

I heard every US section except WY...not a peep.. VE provs 
NOT heard were NWT and that was it....did not get through to 
a VE7 for some reason.  DID work KH6 second night after much 
persistence on HIS part..he was really 569 here on the beverage.

All in all, I had a blast..I am SURE the totals will come in 
over last years QSO numbers....just wall to wall cw on 
160!!! GOTTA LOVE IT!!!!!


See you in the 10M contest...
