[CQ-Contest] Time to QSY?

[Ria Jairam]

I use a single vertical, DX Engineering 66ft vertical. I am getting 3 more
for a 4 square.

It gets out fairly well. Probably won't burn up anyone's S meter but I get
good reports.

For 160 (for now) I use an inverted L but that will be upgraded this summer
with something phased. I do have Beverages for receive which in my opinion
are more important.
