Comments:

Installed a K9AY 2-loop system on Friday, and used it for the first time during
the contest. It's a huge improvement (we worked 56 JAs this time, while I've
had trouble hearing more than 2 or 3 in previous 160-mtr contests), but I know
there's still another layer of people calling right at the noise level and
probably another layer below that. If you're one of them, sorry, I'll keep
working at it. Besides the usual neighborhood noises, I get plenty of trouble
from an AM broadcast station a quarter mile away and another few stations 2
miles down the road, so it'll be a real battle.
