Comments:

What a ruff contest! I discovered my trusty windom had a bad balun the morning
of the contest. I threw up a 80m dipole hastily. The only good thing about this
dipole was it showed me just how good the windom was :-) I installed an Inverted
L for 160 just for this contest, it work halfway OK considering I only have 100w
on that band, I did pick up some new countries on 160 so it was worth it. I
worked 40m with the inv L via a tuner and it worked pretty decent, not nearly
as good as the windom, but a lot better than nothing!!! I was very pleased to
work TO3R and 8Q7DV on 40 with it! 20m was really good, as was 15,

My goal over the next weeks is to improve my low band antennas. 80 and 40 meter
totals killed me in this contest.

Equipment:
Icom IC-756 Pro II 
K1EL Winkey 2 serial keyer
Heathkit SB-220
Cushcraft A4S @ 23M/75'
80 Dipole @50'
160/40 125' Inverted L (top at 40') with about 10 100' radials
MFJ-989D Tuner
PC 2Ghz Dual Core Pentium /w 2GB Ram & N1MM (the very best!)

I will see you all (and hopefully quite a few more! :-)) in the next one!!!
