K3/Acom 1K - Cobwebb dipole and a ground mounted 1/4 wave vertical for 40m

Broke with tradition and tried assisted for the first time. Hugely enjoyable
but found it a whole new game, and not exactly sure how I feel about it.

Will I ever be able to handle pile-ups?! Those cluster generated pile-ups screw
my brain and mangle my concentration, turning Hs to 5s, 6s to Bs etc and ends up
embarrassing me and confusing the pundits, for which apologies. There's a wide
spectrum of abilities when it comes to this skill - I have my good moments but
I'm definitely at the lower end. So it's nice when folk have tuned off a little
to avoid everyone being zero beat; some logging programs can do this
automatically when a spot is clicked or there's the little xit knob. And if
there's a momentary pregnant pause waiting for my response I haven't run away,
I'm just waiting for someone to break ranks and send out of turn so I can at
least get a partial call to work with. Surprising how often the callers were
all coordinated down to the millisecond....

Some interesting multi-path echoes off my omnidirectional wire antennas at
times  made life awkward. The usual JA/west coast US suspects but also close in
EU like DL/PA at times. On Saturday morning I had to turn off qsk for a while as
I couldn't read my own sent cw through the extremely loud echo...weird. 

Thanks for the fun..!
