One other huge "thanks" is in order. Before and during this operation from
VP2V, Greg, W8WWV was a HUGE help creating the needed matching network
designs for both K3LR and the AM station.
I would have never been on the air for the contest without Greg's help.

Comments:
I was fortunate to time my latest trip to VP2V (I have been going there
since 1993) so it lined up with a major 160 meter contest (my forth one). I
was helping a local broadcast station with some RF projects. Got permission
to use (for about one hour each night) their 300 foot vertical when the
station signed off for the day. Thanks to K9VV, K6VVA and VP2VQ for their
help making this happen. Great to work many MRRC and NCC members - giving
guys a new DX multiplier. Sorry I was very RX challenged (deaf) - as
listening on a 5/8 wavelength 160 meter vertical is pretty hard with all the
nearby static and storms.
