[CQ-Contest] CQ-Contest Digest, Vol 170, Issue 7

[Timothy Holmes]

Hi folks

I based my concerns on a VOACAP Online runn. I ran it with the settings at
100w ssb,  I set the antennas as a dipole at 10m and rural noise level.

My actual setup is 100w icom 706mkiig barefoot into a tribander at 33 feet
for 10m 15m 20m. And a 125 foot dipole at 35 feet for 40 and 80.  I always
try to set up conservative runs when I model.
