[CQ-Contest] Be careful what you wish for

[John Geiger]

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the SS QSO. Noise wasn't too bad here on 80, but maybe my
supposedly "new and improved" antenna isn't that improved.  Did work a few
on 80 but it seems in years past it was much more crowded.  40 was wall to
wall signals both evenings.  Using a contest quality radio (Kenwood
TS950SD) sure does make a contest sound different after years of using low
to mid level radios!
