Comments:

150W + inverted L (45' vertical, 6 radials)

Should have spent more time in this. Condx seemed very good especially on the
second night. The band was packed -- finding a clear freq below 1870 or so was
nigh impossible. I heard a lot more DX than I worked. Some couldn't hear me,
others (like CE1/K7CA) were loud but I could never catch them without a big
and/or unruly pileup. Stateside, missed ID and ND (and AK & HI).

Electrical noise is a limiting factor here, running about S6 with the 500hz
filter. For a nice change, atmospheric QRN was not a factor at all. 73,
