[CQ-Contest] N6TR's QRP SS

[Michael Tope]

Randy,

You are assuming that everyone is using a good antenna system. Until
I get the time to go head-to-head with the city of Los Angeles for a
conditional use permit, I am stuck with antenna by Eimac. My trapped
vertical on the roof is pretty close to a dummy load, but when you
pump 1000 watts into it, enough signal leaks out to make some contacts
and have a little fun. This is definitely not W5WMU.
