SOAPBOX: We had kids from Austin over for a belated Christmas, so contesting
was not a high priority. Plus the station is not 160M capable (or at least I
thought not). But I had installed the Viking MB-V-A tuner, and thought I'd give
it a try with the 80M half-wave sloper. And it worked a little bit! Just
S&P, and worked who I could hear (and who could hear me in return),
spending a couple of hours. The only DX I worked was KP4 and VE. So I'll throw
these 36 Q's into the pot, hoping it'll help the cause. And now maybe I'm
wondering what I need to do to get more 160-radio-active! Maybe more
radio-active PERIOD!
