Comments:

I had never participated in this contest before.  Wisconsin has about 3 months
of summer, so summer weekends have always been off limits to radio.  But now
that I am a retired old fart, every day is the same!  :-)

Up until Wednesday I was planning a low power operation from home.  But then my
91 year old mother who lives in Eau Claire was admitted to the hospital and I
decided to visit her instead.  Then I talked to Paul, W0AIH who also lives in
Eau Claire and he said to operate from his place.  So I was able to operate and
visit Mom!

W0AIH is set up for multi multi.  But each band position has access to all the
Rhombics.  So I sat at the 10 meter position and was able to use the JA and
Europe Rhombics.  And with a couple patch cables I routed the 15 and 20 meter
stacks to the 10 position to cover the area between 335 and 45 degrees.

I have always though the JA rhombic was Paul's best antenna.  I still think it
it is!  And it was kinda cool to think I was one of the only, if not the only
person in the world using Rhombics!  :-)

Thanks to Paul for having me over.  Always nice visiting (and he showed me the
progress on the 80 meter Yagi that will be up in time for CQWW!)
