Comments:

Built a home-brew Moxon for 10m a couple days ago  and was surprised how well
the rascal worked.  So I entered the ssb test  to primarily see how well it held
up  under contest conditions, as well as  test the new SS cycle propagation.

What a blast!  Mounted on a 16 ft ( 0.5 wavelength height) pvc mast on the back
patio, with an Armstrong rotator, I  gave it a good shot.  10m was  great to
everywhere but Asia and the deep Pacific, thought I did work a couple of JAs,
VKs and ZLs + 3D2 and 5W1.  ( + a very strong FR4 from Reunion)

EU sigs and the Middle East were   59+.  The S.A. boys were    weaker as a whole
but some hit 59 on the meter, and  the entire continent was heard well.  A
handful of  Africans added spice, and the Carrib was very well represented.  My 
4 band contacts were: ZF1A TO5M PJ2T PA1H KP4AA J68HZ  along with ten more 3
banders. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the 10m band which provided 77% of my contest qsos, and the
best contest propagation in years.   My light wt   home brew Moxon  showed it
could compete with the Big Boys!

See you on 10!
