          Soapbox :

Awesome!!!  Great band.  It was pretty good Friday night with the 160m loop,
heard lots of signals, but few heard me, only 18q's VA being the longest path. 
On Saturday with encouragement from NL7Y and KL7RA, I decided to put up an
Inv.L. I tied an Inv. L about 45ft vert. up a tree and 85ft horz. onto my 5btv
and added 3 130ft radials to the set.  Install went really well, first shot was
short, added some wire a little to long, trimmed and tunes at 1.830.  I was
stoked and ready to go.  What a difference!!! People could hear my on the
Inv.L.  I didn't know about this band at all, but now I'm hooked.  Worked
GM3POI on the 2nd call, I almost fell out of the chair. 112 q's on Sat. night,
could have worked more but the brain gave out around 05:30local 14:30utc. 

 Thanks to all that heard me.

  I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations
  established for amateur radio in my country. My report is
  correct and true to the best of my knowledge. I agree to be
  bound by the decisions of the Contest Committee.
