Comments:

Highlights:
1. The new antenna is a cannon.
2. Getting called by ET3AA and VP8NO, among others.
3. Working NH2DX on long path Saturday morning.
4. Getting unassisted single-band DXCC in a weekend, a first for me.
5. A fun weekend of CW contesting.

Lowlights:
1. We really and truly aren't at solar max anymore.
2. Not working OR hearing any of GM/OY/OZ/LA/SM/OH*/UA*/ES/YL/EU/ER!!  I did
work LY.
3. Europe was only really runnable from 1230 to 1400 each day.
4. Not working a few usually easy multipliers I did hear, including 4X and A4
and zone 29.
5. Only working one JA on skew path.

Setup:
- Elecraft K3/100 + KPA500 @ 500W output
- Force12 Magnum 715 (7 elements on 13.5-m/44-ft boom) at 16 meters (52 feet)
high on an AB-621A/G "rocket launcher" tower fed with 7/8 coax
- TRLinux software

Thanks for the DXpeditions and the QSOs!

73,
