Comments:

IC756PRO / AL811H (600 watts - on loan from K4BAI - Tnx John)
160: Inverted L - 55 ft high - 6 130 ft radials
80-10 - Center fed zepp at 35 ft.
40: 1/4 wire vertical with 4 elevated radials
20 : SE/NW dipole @ 50 ft


Tough going with just 600 watts and wires but still had some fun. 160 meters
was really good on Sunday morning but not much activity from EU. I never would
of imagined working 33 counties on 160 SSB with such a modest antenna. 

We have been house hunting since last Summer and took a 2nd look at a house on
Sunday afternoon that might good possibilty for a new QTH. (on 2 1/2 acres.)
Maybe real antennas (i.e. a tower and beam) might be in my future in time for
the Fall contest season.
