Comments:

Wonderful band conditions made this a real joy.  Wall-to-wall S-9 or better
signals from 28.0 to 28.7 Mhz!  The S-meter on my K3, which is normally on the
conservative side, peaked 20dB higher than it ever peaked before.

Antennas were modest but each one made numerous Q's that weren't possible by
the other 2 antennas.  Amazingly, my yagi's at 60' and 20' were often
outperformed by a simple Solarcon A-99 Ground Plane w/GPKT Radial Kit.
(the Solarcon was mounted 6' above a saltwater river which I'm sure helped, but
I'm not sure by how much) 

2014 be a wonderful year!

Happy Holidays: Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

73,
Dick- K9OM
