: With the recent SS scores of K3UA at K3LR, KM9P at N4RJ and W2GD maybe the
: eastern guns should give SS a try again?
well actually - k3lr, km9p, wc4e, k4xs, w2gd, ka9fox, k1tr, w2tz
and a whole bunch of other folks have been doing very well in the
ss for years and years from the east coast.
in fact i think that a good operator can do well in this contest -
ie. make the top ten from just about anywhere in the country.
the only real exception is high power phone when you have to
work all the novices.
BTW - if you made the ss a qso per band contest the above would not
be true - the west would bury you in high band qsos!

I still don't think the listing is a problem. If your goal is a pin, then
look for your call near the bottom. It you turn in a 1K Q log, then your
call probably is in the upper half. I don't think this should be upsetting
to anyone. It seems the section certificate winners are implict in the
listings, but if Billy and company wants to denote this with a * or something,
that would be fine.

Anybody got the list of High Reported scores from CQ WW CW? I heard they
were to be released at Dayton. Inquiring minds want to know...

Subject: Heil 4 or 5??
Message-ID: <9405030205.AA14469 at freezer.cns.udel.edu>
I wonder what your preferences are between Heil 4 or 5 elements.
My primary use of a mike is in contesting, currently using a 940.
I would naturally assume that the 4 is the ticket, and that's what I've
been using. I am more concerned with getting through than having hi fi
audio.
I have heard the 5 recommended as preferable with this rig. Anybody agree
or disagree??
Again, thanks to all who made Dayton what it was. Including umbrella mfrs.

Subject: 40 Meter Beams, Summary
Message-ID: <9405031415.AA314437 at rs2>
Well thanks for the many, many responses regarding the possibilities
of 40 meter beams. The subject was intended to be about the loaded or shortened
type of beams that are manufactured. Several types were recommended, but by
far the Cushcraft 40-2CD was the choice of those that responded. The Mosley
version was described as a very heavy poor substitute for the Cushcraft.
Apparently the Cushcraft could use some beefing up in places (I'm guessing
the boom) but I haven't seen the actual articles people mentioned about this.
As for height, 70 feet seemed to be about the minimum. We all know higher is
better.
After all the responses, curiously a local ham has an old Mosely 2
element beam element set for sale for a reasonable price. After looking at it
I could see that it looked like it had more promise as the basis of a full
size 2 element beam. Rip the loading coils off and use the aluminum. It looked
to me like this antenna uses a 2 inch boom??? Since the elements are on
insulators I could visualize trying direct feed via some sort of 1:1 balun.
Anyway, thanks again for all the good input. I'll be on the lookout
for a Cushcraft.

Well, my first Dayton (after being in this for 17 years) was,
as I expected, an unbelievably good time! Of course, my non-ham
colleagues are still saying, 'you went *where* for a road trip??'
The best part, of course, was meeting so many of you...
Now, when I steal a frequency, I'll picture a face, not just a
featureless CW signal.... :-)
The Internet badges were a big hit. Had lots of people ask me where
I got mine.
Hats off to the Sultans of Shwing, KC DX Assn, Mad River CC, NJDXA,
and everyone in the Miami Room for the hospitality, beer, and booze.
And, of course, Waffle House! (Who else bought a T-shirt?)
Oh yeah, there was all this stuff going on in the Hara, too.....
c u next year,

P.S. James, *I* didn't ask you about the caning thing!!

I talked with Mr. Heil himself at Dayton and after much discussion,
decided for dxing and contesting, the ProSet #4 would be the way to go.
I tried my new #4 and had someone playback my sig over the air on 75
meters. It sounded crisp and clear... would be FB for rag chews too.

Last I checked, KA9FOX is my neighbor here in La Crosse, WI, at the outer
edge of the club competition circle of the Black Hole group.

Yep, and K4XU has proven this through the years. He made the top ten
in low power CW for (I think) 15+ consecutive years, and he has lived
in W1, W4, W0, W9, etc.

I'm in need of an owner's manual for an old Mosely 2 element
40m yagi. It's the one with insulated elements and loading
coils in the center. I'll reimburse you for the cost of copying
and mailing.
