Comments:

The new tree-borne antenna was only on paper Until Thursday, but with the help
of three good friends,we raised(mostly they) the antenna to its final height of
about 66 feet. It is basically a dipole loaded at top and bottom.
The results were better than I imagined and the best I've ever done in this
contest.I was having so much fun chasing mults and dx, that I paid little
attention to the score.

Thanks to all who suffered through the repeats and noise to make a qso with me.
I also owe VE3BWL an apology. He kept correcting me on his call and I kept
sending it VE3BWL(I thought) this went on through several cycles and I'm sure
he was very frustrated, as was I. The next qso said that I was dropping the
first dit of the V. In the headphones, I couln't tell. Apparently the relay in
the amp is getting sloppy, and opening and closing late. Sometimes I had to ask
for repeats because calls were coming in before the changeover relay was open,
and i missed the first letter. If it seemed wierd to you, I apologize. What I
heard in the headphones and what you heard over the air were apparently
different sometimes and I definitely will fix that.

73 to all,
Darrell
