[CQ-Contest] 48 db down

[Gary K7ZD]

Another thing that might explain.. sometimes "city dwellers" will be 
tempted by all the fun on 160 and load up their 80M dipoles/slopers..
might be a reason for someone to hear a "lil' gun" as the antenna being 
used would be resonant on that second harmonic.. I was remembering my 
"Novice" days GRIN

Of course, this absolutely wouldn't apply to the well-engineered 
contest-farm stations.

Happy holidays, 73
