Comments:

Another part time effort, but great fun.  Spent a lot of time learning the
nuances of my new A3S.  Its great not to have to worry about blowing up traps. 
My previouos TH3JR seemed to be tuned for Front to Back at the expense of Gain,
where this antenna appears tuned for Gain as opposed to Front to Back.  Seems I
dont have to turn the beam as much now, which is good, its much more broadbanded
and makes me feel louder.  But I get more QRM from the sides and the back than I
remember.  Life is a compromise!

Surprised to get a call from a ZL2 on 15 while pointing at South America! 

Played a lot on 10, those 53 Q's were hard earned, most in Spanish to SA ops. 
15 was quite productive as well.  20, as always, the bread and butter band.  I
could actually hold a frequency and run.  

Fun, as usual, beat my last year score as well!
