[NCC] T88UU is on the air

[Hal Offutt]

I got the call T88UU and have been working on antennas all day.  The station is in a really wierd hotel where they shut off the water between 10 PM and 5 AM and other interesting features.

No 160 antenna, but all other bands are loading up ok and the SWR is acceptable.  Amp is working.  40 sounded good last night in the CWT with quite a few loud sixes and fives heard.  This morning I had a big pileup of mid-west stations on 15 and even worked a couple of sixes on 10, but 20 has a lot of noise and very few signals.  There is a power pole about 50 feet from the antennas and the shack with a big transformer and a bunch of insulators, so that's probably where the noise is coming from.  Not much I can do about that.  

I should be on the low end of 40 tonight my time between 1100 and 1200z.

GL to everyone in the contest.
