Comments:

Decided it was time to put in more than a token effort, subject to the
limitations of the antenna system and my old body.  Set a goal of at least
beating last year's score, and I did by 100+ QSO's and 16K points.  Worked
everything I could hear except RW0F.  Too bad I couldn't hear more.  Loop
receiving antenna never beat the transmitting antenna, even though I could
notch local noise sources with it. Briefly attempted SO2V operation, but need
to work on that skill in an off-air situation.  Looking forward to the CQ 160
contest next month.  I have a long way to go for 160 meter DXCC.  

Equipment:

K3 to AL82 @ 1500 Watts.  This feeds "T" antenna with apex at 55'. I
feed inner/outer of 80 meter dipole feedline from MFJ tuner against 14 radials
to property lines of 80' x 120' lot.  Several pass through swimming pool.
