[RSM] NAQP CW W6NF

[Jack]

The antenna worked pretty well. The counterpoises I added (one each 
16/33/66 feet long) helped considerably, especially on 80 meters. We'll 
see how Shelley does next weekend in the SARTG RTTY Contest.

Going to the Twin Cities Wednesday to pick up a TA-33Jr and rotor for 
the Kenora station. That should play quite well in ONN. I am 
particularly looking forward to the November Sweepstakes. Hopefully we 
can put together a good effort in both CW and Phone versions from RSM.
